Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just started to feel pain when swallowing, accompanied by mild cough, also with low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry and fuss due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Most children develop a fever, with severe cases reaching temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. In addition to fever, many children may also experience headache, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, swollen, and congested. In severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. You can observe your child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
