Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.
You may have viral fever as the presence of rash suggest.
There may also be possibilty of bacterial infection but the exact diagnosis can be made only after examination of rash.
You should consult with physician and hematologist and should go for blood culture and sensitivity.
You should also consult with dermatologist simultaneously.
Monocef is a peniciliin and by causing platelet dysfunction,it may also cause purpuras which appears to be just like rash.
You should take azithromycin and ofloxacin group medicines.
Take care,
Dr. mayank Bhargava
