Hi,
This as a viral upper respiratory tract infection (cold with rash is mostly viral origin). Nothing to worry. Continue benadryl (this will also relieve any itching from the rash) and motrin (more aptly paracetamol) for 3 days. You can apply calamine lotion over the rash 2 times a day to soothe the area. Most probably she will be fine by then.
If fever is not coming down by then or if she develops breathing difficulty, kindly take her to doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
