Are Rashes On The Body A Sign Of Dengue?

My daughter has a rash, hence she has taken an Avil 25 mg antihistamine. However we stay in India where there is a lot of dengue and it occurred to me that her antihistamine should not act adversely in case she is going in for dengue. She has been complaining of a headache and back ache, but now in retrospect I hope it was not a Dengue showing up and I hope she has not taken a wrong medicine for her symptom.
