Hello, thank you for posting your question.

Your child seems to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection. The most common cause for such infections, especially when associated with running nose is viral. In such cases, appearance of a rash as a part of the disease process may be expected.
Apart from this, the antibiotic prescribed to you (clamp forte) is also known to cause rashes and itching.
Thus here the rashes could either be a part of the viral infection or due to the antibiotic prescribed to your child.
In either case the next best step would be to strictly monitor the progression of these rashes. If you feel that they are spreading to other areas of the body, developing blisters/pus or crusts, involving the oral or genital mucosa etc. immediate medical consultation would be needed.
If the drug is found to be the offending agent, immediate stoppage of drug along with appropriate treatment would be needed.

If you have any more questions regarding the case, do write back.
