My son has little bumps all over his body like the picture below. He had chicken pox last week is it something to do with that?

It can need antibiotics.

Strawberry tongue is something else to look out for. Does the rash feel like sandpaper?

Great news!
Try Aveno oil in the bath (or porridge oats run under the tap for a cheap alternative). Warning though: it makes the bath and baby very slippery!
