Brief Answer:
Due to virus.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

With regard to rash you experienced in your face, I think it might due to virus you suffered recently.

However, allergic reaction to any new drug or foods you took should be considered too.

I advise to go to ER if:
- temperature will persist to be high
- your symptoms won't improve

Hope it was of help!
