Hi
This is looking like some viral exanthem illness. Continue tylenol for fever in prescribed dosage and lactocalamine application for the rash. As he is having itching some antihistamine oral medication is required to decrease the itching so consult your pediatritian for the examination os your child's fever and rash pattern and proper medication advice.
