Hi my son is 4 years old, He developed a temperature 39.8c, 2 days ago out of the blue, I can seem to get below 37.6-37.9 before it back up again, he has been sick a couple of times off his food, but very thirsty, took him the hospital, and was told he has a chest & throat infection, this morning I noticed some small flat red spots on him and now seem to be more, what do u think it could be? should I take him back to the hospital, (he is taking antibiotics)
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you son have symptoms of flat red spots after treated throat infection seems to be due to bacterial or viral infection persistence. Need not worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful.  Chat Doctor.  Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
