Andy,
Lil A is sick for the 4th time since December. He gets high fever - above 39degrees and then congestion - and ear infection. Last time he became sick he was sick for several days and eventually ended up with strawberry tongue - very red almost fuchsia tongue - very smooth in appearance with strange bumps on it. It took a few days for it to disappear.
This Friday he became lethargic, once again developed fever, extreme abdominal pain and high fever. He seemed a little better this morning - having only cough and running nose - but he again woke up with a strawberry tongue.
I am quite concerned about why he is getting this symptom along with high fevers when he gets sick. I have thought about Scarlett fever, Kawasaki disease and the like - and for that reason had my husband take him to the children's hospital to be looked at. He doesn't have any other symptoms of Kawasaki - rashes or red eyes - but he certainly has the fever and red tongue.
Should this be concerning?
Thank you kindly Andy,
Sharmin
