This is likely a post-viral rash, common after fever and usually self-resolving.
Atarax (hydroxyzine) is safe if prescribed. For your baby (6.1 kg), 0.6 ml three times daily (assuming 10 mg/5 ml syrup) is within a safe dose range as per IAP/AAP guidance. Mild sleepiness can occur.
You may apply calamine lotion (OTC) for soothing.
If rash worsens, persists >5 days, or baby has poor feeding/breathing issues, consult your pediatrician.
