Anesthesiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

It seems your baby needs immediate medical attention in person. It's better if you take her to the nearest pediatrician as soon as possible. Babies can't tolerate congestion in the chest and rashes on body. The following are few probable causes:
1) Acute bronchiolitis
2) Acute upper respiratory tract infection
3) Aspiration pneumonia
4) Croup
5) Asthma
6) Cystic fibrosis
7) Heart failure

The rash all over her body might be due to:
1) Epidermolysis bullosa
2) Ichtyosis bullosa
3) Bullous pemphigoid
4) Bullous impetigo
5) Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
Please do consult a pediatrician as soon as possible.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
