<human>: My son is 16 months. He had a fever but Ive kept it under control. Ive noticed sore like bumps on his tongue, loss of appetite, fussiness, im pretty sure he has a sore throat because he hasnt been trying to drink either. iv been giving him pain reliever ( acetaminophen) fevr reducer. But what are these symptoms?
<bot>: Welcome to the ChatDoctorI Have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms of your child are suggestive of a bacterial infection which is most likely streptococcus infection. I would recommend you to go for the following laboratory tests to confirm:1. Complete blood counts with differentials2. C reactive protein3. Throat swab for culture and sensitivity Thereafter, you may start him on a course of antibiotics with your pediatrician consultation. Also, start vitamin B. Complex supplements and other symptomatic treatment. Complete the course of antibiotics to prevent future risk of rheumatic fever. Offer him regular feeds and fluids. Hopefully this will be useful. I would be happy to help you with any further questions. Take care
