Brief Answer:
Due to a viral infection.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached images. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and they are often associated with an allergic component and rashes. Irrespective of treatment it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. You may give some antiallergic like Cetirizine Drops (or possibly better ones like Atarax (hydroxizine) which is a prescription medicine). You also need to apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion over those areas.
If your child has fever with temperature more than 100°F, you need to give paracetamol (P-250, Crocin or Calpol) to it bring down. Also use tepid sponging. If paracetamol is not effective in bringing down the temperature, you need to use Meftal-P (mefenamic acid) which is more effective.
It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient.
Let me know if I could help further.
