Viral rash - how long do they last?

My LO started with a v. mild rash 2 weeks ago (2nd) on their belly, it got worse on the evening of 5th to the point of a high temp, projectile vomiting - doctors said it was a viral rash and to give calpol.
Rash got worse 14th (so a week later) with a swollen eye and has now calmed down but it’s still there.

How long do these last?? We’ve got a case of eczema too but it’s definitely not the same as the eczema rash 🥺🥺

Omg my little boy has the exact same rash. And doctors have told me it’s viral to - he seems okay in himself but the last few days I have noticed he’s got a cough and a runny nose. They doctor mentioned it could last anywhere between 4-6 weeks but it will go. Hope your little one is okay xx
