What are the red bumps on his face?
Patient: Hi there my son is 4 and had general anethisia on friday to remove 4 teeth and do some crowning, and now has tiny red dots on his face what is this from, they are not bumps just dots. And also he says his tongue feels like its full of spiders is this normal? Doctor: I am not sure about the tongue sensations. However the red spots are probably harmless and should go away soon. If they do not go within a few days, please get his CBC (a full hemogram) done to see what his platelet counts are. If these are normal, and the spots do not go, or new spots appear, take him for a bleeding time/clotting time study to rule out a clotting-related problem.Hope this helps.Dr. Taher
