Swollen glands and appearance of a rash in children can be due to any bacterial or viral infections.What is the age of your daughter?Are there any other symptoms or signs?
As the rash has started on the chest,so first and foremost scarlet fever has to be ruled out. Scarlet fever is simply strep throat with a rash. The child's symptoms begin with sore throat (which can be mild), fever, headache, abdominal pain, and swollen glands in the neck. After 1-2 days of these symptoms, the child develops a rash on the body that is red and has a sandpaper texture. After 7-14 days, the rash sloughs off. Oral antibiotics are needed in this case to prevent the complication of rheumatic fever.
Other possibilities are measles,chicken pox,Kawasaki disease,roseaola , rubella,rocky mountain spotted fever and fifth disease.
I sincerely advise you to consult a physician/pediatrician and discuss these possibilities with him.These symptoms may only be annoying but can be due to some serious cause like strep infection also.So clinical examination is definitely required.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how your daughter is doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
