Suggest Treatment For Swollen Taste Buds With Runny Nose And Cough
My done is 3 and he has been sick for a week goin on the deco d week. First week he had runny nose and light cough. Over weekend the cough got worse causing him to wake up at night and the other night it caused him to throw up. Today I noticed that his taste buds were swollen, I would like to know if it could relate to strep or mono?
Hi...by what you quote as swollen taste buds, I feel that it could be - what we call in medical literature as - Straw berry tongue as it looks like strawberry. There are 2 condition which come to my mind as you say he is sick for a week. Possibilities - 1. Streptococcal infection like Scarlet fever 2. Kawasaki Disease Please see your pediatrician regarding this. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
