hi
thanks for your question.
I think its chicken pox.
if you have never suffered from chicken pox, and you have no immunity the chance of getting it is high.
all of you need to see doctor for further management.

greetings,
your daughter is having exanthematous eruptions.here are variour reasons for that.and yes chicken pox and measles are one of them.
In case of Chicken pox mainly the eruptions start from trunk.
are they fluid filled like droplets.that goes more in favour of chicken pox.
this is definitely contagious.you should give a anti pyretic like acetominophen to bring down the temperature and comfort the child.try to keep the child in a cool environment and avoid sweating and scratching.
its better if you can show to a pediatrician as he will be able to see and examine the baby and comeout with definitive diagnosis.
you can also apply some soothening agent like calamine on it.
hope it helps.
for any query revevrt back.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your child is having exanthematous rash with fever.
I suggest you to get her examined by pediatrician as physical examination is required to make diagnosis.
If they are pustular eruptions it is most likely chickenpox.
Yes it is contageous and other family members can also catch it.
Give acetaminophen for fever ,give plenty of fluids,apply calamine lotion ove blisters.
Hope this helps.
God bless..
