Yes, it is possible for the rash to be an allergic reaction to Calpol (paracetamol) or Ascoril Flu. However, in young children, a red rash on the cheeks is very commonly a viral exanthem?a harmless rash caused by the fever or cold virus itself?rather than the medication. To be safe, please pause these medications and consult your pediatrician for a proper evaluation. If your child develops any breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or lips, or extreme lethargy, please seek emergency medical care immediately.

Could the red rashes on my son's cheeks be an allergic reaction to Calpol or Ascoril Flu, which I gave him for his fever and cold?
