What Causes High Fever With Itchy Tongue?
Six y/o son presented with fever of 102 and above about two weeks ago. Fever stopped after 4 days. Complaining of feeling sick all the time. Fever started again on Tuesday- went as high as 103 with itchy tongue. Now itchy tongue has red bumps of various sizes. Sore throat also. Worried it might be kawasaki disease

Hi...It could be Kawasaki disease with bumps on the tongue - but one thing against classical Kawasaki disease is that the tongue will look like strawberry and it wont itch like this. But whatever it is with fever going on for so many days and with bumps on tongue - ti could be either Kawasaki disease or Streptococcal pharyngitis or scarlet fever.
