HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Minor illnesses are more common than life threatening conditions though these can occur.
It is likely , with cold symptoms, ear ache , that you have an ear infection.
Skin rash can occur with viral infections including the common cold/flu so it is possible that the rash is linked to this infection.
If this is the case, it should resolve within a few days of the infection.
You can consider monitoring to see if there is any change.
I hope this helps
