Dermatologist 's  Response
Thank you for query.the rash follows after fever at the onset but after intake of drug likely points to drug rash also it is associated with itching.Viral fevers with rash also is a possibility.symptomatic treatment like paracetamol,antihistamines like cetrizine and topical calamine lotions .You may need to get investigated for viral fevers like dengue etc if it is an endemic area.
