What Causes Fever And Bumps On The Tongue In Case Of A Child?

My son is 16 months. He had a fever but I've kept it under control. I've noticed sore like bumps on his tongue, loss of appetite, fussiness, i'm pretty sure he has a sore throat because he hasn't been trying to drink either. i'v been giving him pain reliever ( acetaminophen) fevr reducer. But what are these symptoms?

Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I Have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms of your child are suggestive of a bacterial infection which is most likely streptococcus infection. I would recommend you to go for the following laboratory tests to confirm:
1. Complete blood counts with differentials
2. C reactive protein
3. Throat swab for culture and sensitivity
Thereafter, you may start him on a course of antibiotics with your paediatrician consultation. Also, start vitamin B. Complex supplements and other symptomatic treatment. Complete the course of antibiotics to prevent future risk of rheumatic fever.
Offer him regular feeds and fluids.

Hopefully this will be useful. I would be happy to help you with any further questions.
Take care
