Hello, I understand your concern These rashes are likely due to a mild viral infection, skin irritation, or possibly an allergic reaction. Such rashes are common in young children and usually settle on their own within a few days. 98.5F is not considered fever in children

Next Steps

Syrup Cetrizine 2.5ml twice daily Moisturise twice daily Use mild soaps and avoid new skincare products or detergents. Keep your child well-hydrated and comfortable.

Health Tips

Red flags: If the rash worsens (becomes blistered, painful, or oozing) If your child develops fever, irritability, or stops eating well If you notice swelling around the eyes or lips, or any breathing difficulty
