Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should immediately take him to hospital.
High grade fever, skin lesions in 6 year old child should be managed in a hospital because possibility of staphylococcus infection is more likely.
He need higher antibiotic, Intravenous fluid and proper surgical dressing.
Children deteriorate rapidly if proper treatment not given.
So better to take him to hospital now.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing him good health. Thanks.
