Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Greetings.... i think your child is suffering from viral fever. There are many viral infection which are associated with rashes which tends to go away with time and you dont need to bother... But if you live in Dengue infested areas then you should rule out Dengue by doing a complete blood count and NS1 antigen test in a hospital... Post the picture of the rash if possible.
