Hi...by what you quote as swollen taste buds, I feel that it could be - what we call in medical literature as - Straw berry tongue as it looks like strawberry. There are 2 condition which come to my mind as you say he is sick for a week.
Possibilities -
1. Streptococcal infection like Scarlet fever
2. Kawasaki Disease
Please see your pediatrician regarding this.
