HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that she may have a viral illnesses though the exact nature of the viral illness would not be known till she is seen by her doctor.
There are also other causes but they are not as common.
Viral illnesses can cause a rash along with joint pain.
It would be best for her to be seen so that the exact problem can be determined and treatment initiated
She may need blood tests if the diagnosis is not clear to rule out other causes.
I hope this helps
