Hello,
I think this could be a viral-induced Rash because she is having cough and cold also.
Unless the kid is extremely dull and lethargic or having a temperature more than hundred and one degrees Fahrenheit consistently for 24 hours along with respiratory distress you need not worry about this.
It could mostly be viral Rash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
