Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fever with rashes has to be evaluated thoroughly as it can be an exanthematous fever. According to your description tick fever is a possibility. Better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. As of now take paracetamol for fever and ask him to take lot of oral fluids to keep hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
