Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Just started, a little sore throat, found that the cough seems to be more serious. Also, have had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: what are the common symptoms if the tonsils become inflamed in children.Doctor's answer:
Most children feel their throat is very painful after tonsillitis, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. They may also experience headaches or body aches. Due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the enlargement of the tonsils can be clearly observed. If attention is not given in time, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. Tonsillitis is a very serious condition for children, and parents are advised to take it seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
