What Causes Little Red Dots On Faces After Fever?

Hi, both my sons ages 3 & 5 had a mild to high fever for a day. Once the fever resolved they both had little red dots appear on their faces. The spots were not raised, did not itch and otherwise benign. My littlest had more of them on his both of his cheeks where my 5 year old just had maybe 5 on one cheek. Any idea why?
