Patient's question:
Girl baby, only one month old, just started, felt a sore throat when speaking, found that her voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if a child's tonsils are inflamed?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies when swallowing. Some children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade one to a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may experience chills and headaches. Many children also feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils of the child are usually red and swollen, which is often due to inflammation and congestion. If this is not taken seriously in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents, if their child has the symptoms mentioned above, should be taken to the hospital for treatment promptly.
