Hi,
It may be a viral rash on the face in the form of erythematous patches. As there is rhinitis, most probably is a viral infection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to give him bed rest for few days. Give him antihistaminics with montelukast... like tab vercet LM. Apply calamine lotion on the affected areasto soothen the skin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
