What Could Cause Red Spots In The Mouth, Fever, Chills, Nausea And Dizziness In A 7-year-old?
Hi. My 7 year old has little red spots on the back roof of his mouth. He also had a temperature yesterday of 101.9 (ear) and complained of chills and a bit of nausea and dizziness. His fever Seems as though it’s improved. I’ve noticed a couple spots on his body but I think it may be a heat rash?!

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of red spots in the mouth, fever, chills, nausea and dizziness because of upper respiratory tract infection leading to strep throat and it could be due to dehydration.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for your child. Avoid giving cold beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity. Keep him sipping lukewarm water whole day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
