Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, he had a sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, their ears may also ache. The child may have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils will also be swollen and red at this stage. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, etc. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
