Hello,
First, rule out measles or chicken pox rash. What drug you have given to him? Is this drug reaction?
Fever with Rash can be due to any viral illness. Give him Brufen for fever and syrup Softin 1 teaspoonful (tsf) twice if rash subsides den it is alright.
If not, then get him a shot of Avil and solu cortef, and also apply calamine lotion over rash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
