Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just starting. It feels painful to drink water, and it seems that coughing is also quite serious. At the same time, a little fever and low energy. Please ask: What symptoms would a tonsillitis in children show?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis in young children is indeed relatively common, and its symptoms are quite pronounced. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain, making it difficult for them to swallow normally. Most children will develop a fever, with severe cases reaching temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. They may also experience headaches or general body pain. It is clearly noticeable that the child's tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. Complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin conditions may also occur. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
