hi,
thank you for your query.
1.Scarlet fever An infectious bacterial disease affecting esp. children, and causing fever and a scarlet rash. it is caused by streptococci
2.Roseola A rose-colored rash occurring in measles, typhoid fever, syphilis, and some other diseases
3.Chickenpox A highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus.
4.Measles An infectious viral disease causing fever and a red rash on the skin, typically occurring in childhood
i would advise Meftal-p syrup,it brings down fever instantly also tepid sponging.you can put his medication in crushed form in the milk or juice.
advise him to take rest as much as possible.
thank you,
wishing you good health
