What Causes Tiny Red Spots On The Palate With Swollen Tonsils In A 6 Year Old?
My 6-year old son has tiny red dots on his palate, and red, swollen tonsils. He has had sore throat & headache intermittently past 48 hours. He had a slight fever yesterday (100.4), but no fever since then. I have been making him rest, but he still wants to play. Not sure if I should take him in to doctor.
