This is a viral exanthema. Could be measles or any other simple viral exanthema like coxsackie. Well look for ay diarroheal or ear infection symptoms. Try to keep good diet for baby. Start multivitamin syrup like visyneral z 5ml two times a day. Also give 100000 iu of vitamin A single dose to baby.
