Hello
The fever with rash can be there in viral infection like dengue,measles,Coxsakie and other viruses.
Combiflam contains ibuprofen and it causes platelet function abnormality.As many of the viral infection including dengue causes decreased platelet count I would suggest you to stop giving combiflam and to use paracetamol instead.
Keep him hydrated well by giving fluids and feeds and consult a pediatrician for clinical examination and investigations to make a diagnosis and thus management accordingly.
