Hi...it looks like a toxic urticaria or skin allergy related to fever or a viral illness.
My suggestions -
1. Do not use Meftal as it contains Mefenamic acid which can cause severe gastritis in kids. On long run it can cause renal problens too.
2. I suggest you to give cefixime at typhoid dose after giving blood culture test.
