Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It is common at this age to suffer from Measles if not immunised.
but measles rash appears on 4th day of fever starting from back of the ears and neck and spreads in a cephalocaudal direction.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
