Hi,
Perhaps he has miliria (rubra with periporitis). It is due to excessive sweating from high fever and blockage of sweat ducts. I suggest that you continue with the calamine lotion as well as Atarax syp. In addition I suggest you to apply a topical antibiotic e.g neosporin ointment or mupirocin ointment for the pus filled lesions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
