The runny nose with light cough with rashes suggest of contact with some allergen in the bush,might be plant,pollen or a allergic weed.
It is good that we have no systemic findings with all vitals normal.In such situation we can start a anti histaminic or anti allergen with a proper follow up.The rash can however be taken care of by a local lactocalamine application.
More over we must keep a watch on the patient for any further signs.
Hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
