Suggest Treatment For Redness On Tongue Of A 3 Year Old

Hello, my name is Marissa and my 3 year old has strep throat about 2 weeks ago. He finished his medicine(amoxicillin) this past Monday. He s had no fever or acted sick but still has strawberry tongue, as they call it. It doesn t seem to hurt him at all like before but I am a little concerned if I should take him back to his doctor?
