Viral rash: Most likely your child has a rash related to his febrile illness. At his age and the history you give of fever and then eventually rash, most likely would be roseola, also known as "baby measles". In this illness, the toddler usually has fever 1-3 days and it can get high.Fever breaks and rash appears. If you want virtual consult here, contact the virtual appointment section of Healthtap.
