Brief Answer:
I would suggest an oral antiviral
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Most likely it is a chicken pox.The rash looks like that. Perhaps he got exposed to someone in the school or in neighborhood. I would suggest an oral antiviral e.g acyclovir for a week. Topically you may use a soothing calamine lotion for him
