Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking. She noticed it, and her cough was quite severe. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils get inflamed, what are the common symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis in young children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry uncontrollably due to sore throats and difficulty swallowing normally. Additionally, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Furthermore, children may also show symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, general body pain, and chills. At the same time, due to diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the enlargement of the tonsils can be clearly observed in children. If treatment is delayed, some children may even develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening continuously, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
