Hi dear,
Looks like your child is having hand foot mouth disease where you get rash in all these areas. Its a viral infection and it will resolve on its own. No specific medications are needed. Just apply calamine lotion over rash. He will be alright in few days or else how it to a pediatrician. Since his appetite is good nothing really to worry about.
Take care
