Answer 2

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by rash. What does it look like?

When I get a cold or other viral infection (ie flu), I get a 'rash' on my tongue too. It looks sort of patchy, like my tongue is shedding skin or 'fur' in spots - and if you look at the insides of lips and cheeks, same thing there. It's classic for flu, as well as colds, but not everyone notices it. Yep, it's a little tender, and made more so by acidic foods. It's no big deal.

Answer 3

It sounds like its rash from fever. Every body reacts differently to fever, or toxins, or both. Toddlers and babies react differently than adults.

To me it sounds like a rash from fever.

But your explanation of the situation is a little vague. How often does he get sick, when does the rash come on, when does it leave, how long does it last, that sort of thing.

Answer 4

I am not sure exactly as I am not a physician. When my son gets sick is tounge becomes red in certain areas. His pedatrician told me it was called a geographical tounge. Basically, just a sign of infection.

As a mother, only you know your son best. Keep getting second opinions if need be.

May your son be healthy.
