What Does Red, Raised Rashes On Body And White Bumps On Tongue Mean?
I have a 1 year old male with a fine reddish rash slightly raised on the legs, arms face and trunk. he has been drooling excessively with a slight fever for several days. he also has white bumps on the tongue and white rash in roof of mouth. I cannot get a good look at his throat to see if it is red. he definitely has not felt we ll over the past few days. It sort of looks like scarlet fever rash?

Hi.. By what you quote I think it might be a streptococcal infection or as you have rightly suspected - scarlet fever. i suggest you consult a pediatrician and get a rapid antigen test done and proceed accordingly. Till then symptomatic Tylenol or Paracetamol will do.
