That resolved within a day or two. Then his skin became bumpy and flaky and hasn’t healed since. |
That sounds like classic Scarlet Fever. B'H he had a mild case! My skin flaked off and peeled for 2 months when I had it. I lost a layer of skin on the palms of my hands, fingertips, and bottom of my feet as well, and it was SO tender until the new skin formed.
With tonsil involvement as well, you really must get him on antibiotics. If he keeps getting strep, you are going to need a consultation with a good ENT, and see if he needs to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. Strep can "hide" in there, and antibiotics don't cross the tonsil barrier. That means that strep can come back as soon as the antibiotics wear off.
