Can Symptoms Of Herp And Strep Be Seen In 8 Month Old Kids?
Can symptoms of herpes ( 1 and 2) show up in my son 8 months after delivery? He had a severe diaper rash at a week old, thrush at 11 days old and now at 8 months he has these red spots on the roof of his mouth, a creamy white residue and red spots on tongue. Dr said the spots on roof of mouth look like it could be strep but said very rare in children this age.
