My daughter has been unwell for couple of weeks now and today I've noticed these patches in couple of places on her body. Any idea of what it could be?! Thank you

They look like hives.
Have you chafed soap or washing powder recently or got a pet?

My newborn son had something like that. He wasn't upset in himself but he went bright red all over his body as well. Dr told us it was urticaria (or hives). I can't remember if he prescribed anything though as he was only a few weeks old and it was over 18 years ago. I don't think they're anything to worry about, but make an appointment if you're not sure.

You can get hives after a bout of illness, if she is over one give her the recommend amount of antihistamine.
If she shows signs of breathing difficulties or swelling to lips get her seen ASAP.
