Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 months old, just starting out, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, the voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: what are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also become painful. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the child's tonsils are red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. Moreover, it's not just tonsillitis; further progression can potentially affect the heart and kidneys, leading to conditions like endocarditis and nephritis. Therefore, we strongly advise this parent that if their child exhibits the above symptoms, they must seek medical treatment promptly.
