Re: little red dots after a fever
sounds like Roseola to me
eta: from medicine net
Is there a rash with roseola?
Yes, but not in the beginning. When the fever disappears, a rash appears. The rash is mainly located on the neck and body, especially, the abdomen, trunk, and back but it can also be on the arms and legs (extremities).
The rash appears as separate little raised dots (papules) or as a flat (macular) rash.

Re: little red dots after a fever
DS had a red pin spot kind of rash and it turned out to be a Strep rash.
He was very young too, around 10 months so they never suspected Strep but the rash lingered.

I was going to say Roseola also. When my DD had it, she had 2 miserable days & nights with fever and then when the fever broke, she got the rash.
