HI
Well come to HCM
Viral infection could be likely and in such infection hypersensitivity develops because of the auto-immune response but condition is almost self limiting certain thing that need to be watch is high grade temperature, shock, dehydration, in case of high grade fever "Acetaminophen" can be tried, rash can be managed with "Diphenhydramine" else this is nothing to worry, if the condition become worse then hospitalization is necessary, hope this information helps, take care.
