Hello and welcome to HCM,
Appearance of spots along with fever suggests viral infection.
Viral infections are self limiting in majority of cases.
However, exact diagnosis is required.
Viral infections which cause fever with spots are varicella, rubella, mumps, measles etc.
Viral infections require isolation for some days so that the infection does not spread from infected child to other uninfected children.
Consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment to diagnose the infection an to start relevant treatment.
The prior loose motions could be due to some other infectious agent.

Thanks and take care
