Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was discovered that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain becomes more intense when swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. Upon close observation, the tonsils are found to be entirely red and swollen. If attention is not paid in time and complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis occur, it is advisable for parents not to delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible if the condition continues to worsen.
