Hi....this could be a viral exanthem. Its very common for viral infection to cause red rashes like this. Unless she's very lethargic, not passing urine well or having respiratory distress or having generalized body swelling you need not worry. Just give paracetamol in the appropriate dose and give her plenty if water to drink. She will get better.
