Yes, could be scarlet fever or strep throat. Ds also had it once with a wierd unidentifiable bug.

Has he got any other symptoms?
Is his lips cracked and red?
It could be Scarlet fever, two of mine have had a strawberry tongue with that.
Also, and this quite rare..Kawasaki disease, my ds had that at 2 years old.
