Sounds: like a viral illness and there are many from Rubella to ECHO virus...a visit to your child's Pediatrician (or at least a phone contact to find out what viruses are active in your community) is necessary! Hope this is helpful BTW a cool corn starch bath may help the itch! Dr Z

Rash: Appropriate treatment is diagnosis dependent. Did your child have all of his inoculations? Fever? Photosensitive? Shape and color of rash? Best to have your Pediatrician examine before trying to self treat.
