Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

The most common agent causing fever with rash is of viral origin. It includes measles, chickenpox, rickettsial infection, toxic shock syndrome.
Also few drug reactions connective tissue diseases can also leads to this.

I advice you to,
- give antipyretics
- antiviral drugs to eliminate the underlying viral load.
- give plenty of oral fluids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
