Has anyone heard of a child having a strawberry tongue while having strep throat?

Strep throat has been known to cause a condition called strawberry tongue. This can also lead to scarlet fever if it is severe. The term strawberry is used because the tongue gets covered with small blisters making the tongue appear to look like a strawberry. \n\nStrep throat and scarlet fever can be treated with antibiotics. \n\nAvoid close contact with infected persons until they have completed at least 2 days of a 10-day course of antibiotic therapy. \n\nDo not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk or eat any products made from raw milk. \n\nExclude persons with respiratory illnesses or skin lesions from food handling.

yah this is how strep throat starts, if you dont go to the doctor and get medicine soon.  It will get very sore and you will be lucky if you can swallow water.  I had this 3 times before :(

It sounds like scarlet fever...you need to see a doctor. My son recently had this, and even though he had strep throat, he did not have a sore throat. Check out the link below to learn more about it. But a trip to the doctor will confirm.\n\nhttp://www.symptoms101.com/med/archives/2005/05/scarlet_fever_s.html

No say to her it may seem like that to her but that is just a symptom of her illness like cancer victims often loose their hair, people with strep get a sore throat and so on. Say you can not see or hear anything and she is just imagining it I suppose. But be nice and do not make it a big deal.

It's called thrush.  Sometimes babies get it, and it's a white film or crust inside the mouth.  It's treated with an oral rinse of nystatin.  Anyone can get it, though (not just babies).

If you've just been to ordinary doctors, maybe it's time to see an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist who should be an expert in mouth/tongue problems. It doesn't sound good, I would get another medical opinion for sure.

If she also has a fever go to the dr for a strep test.  if she is a teenager she may have mono--those are the symptoms for mono also.  either way see a dr asap.  Until then lots of liquids, tylenol as needed, usual home methods to relieve the sore throat(such as warm salt water gargles--hard for kids to do but try--throat drops, any thing you usually use.)  Avoid throat numbing sprays or lozenges--they supress the gag reflex in young kids and can cause problems.  Good luck and hope she feels better soon.

It is most likely a Candida infection (Thrush).  You must get yourself checked for diabetes.  Do not kiss your child and your other family members and do not share tooth brushes, cups and other utensils.  Retroviral illness leading to such a infection by candida is also possible, but the chances are remote in your case.  Nystatin tablets will help you and Nystatin gel would be required for your child.

could be croup or epiglotitis

I dont know.  But some pediatricians Ive heard will say that's not what happens, but I have seen it over and over and its a classic sign of teething if you ask me.

The high sugar content inhibits bacterial growth, and it hasn't had time to ferment enough to create appreciable alcohol content. Your daughter is most likely fine, but it's something I'd try to avoid. If she starts vomiting, that's when to worry a little bit - but I doubt this will happen.

Sugar and Sugar\n\nAs a kid I liked to eat sweets, all white sugar. As a result my immune system was down and I got severe tonsillitis, every year several times. Finally I learned that white sugar is not the best. It makes acid and causes a craving for more sugar, the sugar addiction. I changed to brown sugar, which makes alkaline. I never had tonsillitis again, well - unless I indulged in white sugar cakes at someone else's place! If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to try brown sugar, Yellow D sugar, evaporated cane juice, or white looking xylitol, or whatever the name. Organic sweets and candy bars nowadays contain natural sugar. Find out what suits you best (or should I say "sweets you best") and keep your pleasant voice!\nHope this helps. \n\nCordially, India.Magica

If you mean how is it diagnoses, then the same as normal.\n\nIf you mean, how because he is an adult, you can get it just as any other illness.  If he has a weak immune system he can get it even if he had it as a child.  Many people have the bacteria in their bodies, and only when they are weakeneded does it cause problems.\n\nI know people that get  group A strep can get NECROTIZING FASCIITIS, also known as the flesh eating bacteria.  With group B a slightly different bacterium is responsible, and can be detected via culture.\n\n"Group B streptococcus (group B strep) is a bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in newborn infants. Group B strep can also cause serious diseases in pregnant women, the elderly, and adults with other illnesses. The letter "B" refers to a classification of bacteria in the genus Streptococcus according to the makeup of the organism's cell wall."
