Hello,
Meningitis is extremely serious and if there is any question of this he needs to be taken to Emergency now. Patients with meningitis have fever, headache, rash and stiff neck. If he has these signs take him to Emergency.
If it is just a rash he may be getting a viral infection which often starts off with a rash. Have him see a doctor if you are not sure
Regards
