Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting out, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, the voice becomes a bit hoarse when talking, and has been slightly feverish all the time. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is severe throat pain. Inflammation can even make it difficult to swallow food normally. The child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, symptoms like chills and fatigue may also appear. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
