Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting. She said it hurts to swallow things. It was found that coughing is also quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis has been one of the more frequently occurring pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it can spread to the ears. The child usually has a fever, or persistent low-grade fever, or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headache. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents are advised to pay attention to this and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
