Hello,
Thankyou for your question.
Brief answer..It could be measles
Detailed answer..Since from the history of rashes distribution ,like first in mouth,then chest then arms is typical of measles rashes distribution.And in mouth typical koplick spots can be seen.And also all other symptoms occur in measles.
As measles is very much virulent disease ,and my opinion would be promptly get checked by your doctor for confirmation ,as he may needs isolation for some days to prevent other children and family members.
