What Could Be The Reason For Having A Cough Along With Spots On His Face And Legs?

Hello, my grandson has developed a cough along with spots on his face and legs. He gets irritated when anyone tries to lift his top/vest to look at his back. No temperature, but has crashed (sleeping) yet his twin brother is fine - and sadly, won't go to sleep.... He is not really a concern. Please advise, thanks.
