Thank you for choosing HCM
It seems that the girl has a regular viral fever. Because of her age, I would not recommend any medication unless absolutely needed.
Initially, you can manage the child with:
Lots of water
Inhaling steam
And lots of sleep
If this does not help after 2 days, then start her on Calpol syrup at 2ml/kg of her weight till about 15 ml. Give 15 ml twice a day. If the rash does not subside in 1 day after, take her to see a Doctor. All the best and we wish her a quick recovery.
Hope this helps you
