What Causes Itching In The Tongue Of The Children?

My 7 year old son has had a fever ranging from 100-102 for 3 days. He started complaining that his tongue won t stop itching yesterday and today it s gotten worse. The only other symptom he has is a snotty nose and congestion. Do you know what this could be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The itching tongue could be because of the depapilated tongue or geographic tongue or due to allergy to food or any foreign material.
Consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it evaluated.
If it is a geographic tongue, just take a topical anesthetic and analgesic agents like anabel gel. Consume nutritious food.
If it is allergic reaction, then you need to take anti histamines like cetrizine.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
