My 7-yr old presents with reddish tongue and sorish throat. He says yesterday when he was brushing his teeth his tongue felt sore and when he viewed there was a white "dot" near tongue tip. The presents now as abnormally red at the tip and his throat is a "little sore" enough that makes swallowing painful/uncomfortable. His appetite has been reduce however he uncomfortably manged to eat his favorite fries. No fever is present and otherwise he does not appear unwell.
