Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
Do not panic.This is part of the disease.
These are viral rashes erupting after the reduction of fever.
Apply a lactocalamine lotion on the rash for 5 days.
Consult your doctor if the problem persists.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
In your mentioned drug list there were two antibiotics and two oral antihistamines of same drug.
But you dint mention that whether you used them at a time or one after the other.
The two dots may be due to some insect bite or some papular rash due to allergy.
Chicken pox will present with fluid filled lesions, progressing to different stages.
But examination is important to comment on them.
You can apply a calamine containing lotion on them.
Send the clinical photograph or consult a Pediatrician if the lesions persist.
Hope I have answered your query.
