Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned two months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he talked, and he also had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Most children will have a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever, symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache may occur. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this time. If this condition is not given proper attention in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, parents should take their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible to avoid the condition worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
