It's a viral exanthem . just symptomatic treatment. In dengue typical is petechiae which won't disappear on pressure. Though it can cause generalised rash like this since it's also a viral etiology
Please do CBC, also ns1ag in this season, most common cause may be vital never with exanthema, continue your treatment and follow up the baby.

It's a viral fever with rash.. Reassurance.. Also rule out dengue
Based on the appearance of rash, other symptoms and vitals, it appears to be a case of type 1 hypersensitivity (allergy). Use antihistamines and moderate pedia dose of steroids. Also check for airway patency periodically. Although Dengue can be ruled out, but rash is more patchy and urticarial while it is diffuse in dengue and also fever is generally high grade in Dengue
