Hi, it appears that the baby has a rash first probably due to a bite. And it would have got secondary infection, by bacteria resulted in fever.
The lump could be a lymph gland due to infection.
I advise you to consult a childrens specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe ofloxacin, ornidazole, and paracetamol.
Wishing him a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
