Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, it may have pain throughout the body. At the same time, chills and fatigue may also occur. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, red, and swollen, and a small number of children may also have complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. It can be seen that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease, and it may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child to be treated in time.
