Viral Skin Rash or something else?

My LO is prone to chest infections that have required hospital admissions in the past. We visited A&E yesterday because of breathing difficulties and he was administered a steroid to help with breathing. However that led to him getting hives on his face. The doctor at the hospital advised us me to give him piriton but this afternoon, his entire body is covered in red blotches. He doesn't seem bothered by them but I'm worried. Doctor said the rash was because of a virus but I'm not convinced.

It's a blanching rash and because he was checked yesterday, I'm trying not to panic but I am panicked in case they got it wrong. LO is deep asleep- something he's not been able to do for the past fortnight because of horrible cough.
