HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most likely cause is a viral illness. Many viral infections can be associated with a skin rash, called viral exanthem which normally resolves with or soon after the other viral symptoms.
Viral infections can cause diarrhea, nausea and cold sweats. In some persons, antibiotics such as the z pak may worsen diarrhea and nausea though this may not be the case for him
I hope this helps
