Many viral infection are often associated with rash which are generally itchy. Depending on the type and distribution it can be measles or other nonspecific viral infection. Give syr allegra 3ml 3 times daily for 3 days and apply calamine lotion on the body to give relieve. If temp crosses 100F give Syr Calpol 120 for 4ml.... Just be patient and this will go away with time.
