Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have difficulty swallowing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children once it occurs?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Most children also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever during this time, along with symptoms like headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this stage, the tonsils are also swollen and congested. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
