Viral infection, No further action needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Based on the symptoms you mentioned I suspect you to have had a viral infection.

The rashes are complications usually seen in viral infections which will fade without any intervention.

There would be no need for any further medication unless you develop fever again. If fever develops then treating with Paracetamol would suffice.
