Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned two months old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. It was found that it was accompanied by a slight cough, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Along with the sore throat, some children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade fever to a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child may not only have a fever but also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils will be red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
