Pediatrician 's  Response
I am not sure about the tongue sensations. However the red spots are probably harmless and should go away soon. If they do not go within a few days, please get his CBC (a full hemogram) done to see what his platelet counts are. If these are normal, and the spots do not go, or new spots appear, take him for a bleeding time/clotting time study to rule out a clotting-related problem.

Hope this helps.
