What Causes Fever And A Red Tongue In A Child?
Dear Doctor, My two daughters aged 6(they are triplets0 are having fever since last 3 days. The temp noted last time was 99.0 Deg F. Fever only noticed only evening & night. They have difficult to swallow & red tongue with sort of small boils. I consulted Dr. yesterday and he told to take just paracetamol250 as it could be a viral one. Morning they are active, though with difficulty they are taking food also. Do I need to take a second opinion?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The fever and the boils over the tongue can be secondary to viral infection like herpetic gingivostomatitis. Nothing to be panic, it is self limiting condition. For the fever you can take paracetamol and for the pain in the tongue you can take topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do saline gargling.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
