Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that coughing seems to be more serious, and a little fever and no energy, 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. And with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food properly. The child may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms like headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may appear. You can see that the child's tonsils are also red and swollen at this point, mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Moreover, it's not just the tonsils that are affected; further progression could potentially lead to complications involving the heart and kidneys, such as endocarditis or nephritis. Therefore, it is advised that if your child exhibits these symptoms, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
