Brief Answer:
Hives

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

He seems to be getting Hives. I suggest you to give him an antihistamine e.g either levocetrizine or hydroxyzine. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes. Did you measure the temperature?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Regarding cold and hives

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You may use Nasal saline drops in his nostrils, 2-3 times a day, to help relieve congestion. Apart from that continue with piriton syp for a few days. If the problem persists then talk to his pediatrician. Take care.
