Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the non-performance of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom to appear is usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. In more severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. It is evident that children's tonsillitis is a very serious illness and can even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their child to seek treatment promptly.
