Red Spot In Tongue, Amoxicillin, Virus, Swollen Glands

My 3 1/2 year old boy had a red spot on the center of his tongue . That disappeared and another one appeared closer to the tip of his tongue and has since lenghened to the tip. It is bright red, but he says it does not bother him. He was on amoxcicillean about three weeks ago. What coul this be. I took him to the doctor yesterday and she said it was a virus because he also had a few swollen glands under his neck .
