Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations when a child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Along with the fever, there may be chills and headaches. Most children will also feel weak. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. Children with severe symptoms may also develop complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
