Hi
It is not a good idea to suggest treatment without seeing rash. Is rash flat red/ raised red plaque or nodular/ like blisters? Fever with rash in 9 months old may be infection. If child is fine between fever with mild red flat rash it may be viral. If the child is sick, have other symptoms like poor feeding, poor activity, vomiting etc take her to hospital. If rash is urticarial with itching it may be allergic. Take opinion of pediatrician.
