HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Wikoryl is a combination of paracetamol , a decongestant and an anti histamine. Because of the anti histamine aspect of this medication , it is not likely that an allergic reaction can occur to this medication.
Imol is ibuprofen, it is possible that he may have a reaction to this.
Rash can also occur as part as a viral illness, called viral exanthem. You may wan to take him to his doctor so that he or she can determine the likely source of the rash.
I hope this helps
