What Causes Cough And Skin Rash In A Child?

My two and a half year old has been complaining of back pain a few times a day for about a week and the past two days has a cough that doesn t seem to be triggered by anything around her. Today she has a little rash on the right side of her neck. Could any of these symptoms be related or of concern

All the symptoms that you have mentioned are of viral infection. Give her nutritous diet rich in protein. Give syr Tixylix 3ml three times daily for 7 days. Apply calamine lotion on the rash. She will be fine in five days. However the same infection can cause fever which if occurs give syr crocin. No antibiotics are required.
