Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The lessions you described looks like urticaria.
Urticaria can be allergic or sometimes triggered by viral infection.
But needs confirmation.
Please upload some photos or take her to nearby pediatrician to confirm if it's urticaria .
I usually treat with atarax, ranitidine, steroids for atleast 48 hours.
For fever continue paracetamol every four hours and sponge the whole body.
Wishing speedy recovery
