Hi... by what you say I feel that this could be a viral illness. If the cheeks are red, that means it, points out towards a specific viral illness called exanthem subitum and this is called slapped cheek appearance. I'll suggest that you take him to the nearest Emergency Room to make sure that he is not having any hemodynamic instability.
