Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if a child experiences tonsillitis, one of the most noticeable symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Most children will also have a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. The child may also experience headaches, and in more severe cases, pain all over the body. At the same time, the tonsils may be red, swollen, and congested. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. Therefore, if you notice any of these symptoms in a child, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to prevent complications.
