Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made her throat hurt, and she noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, her high fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis, what are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils are inflamed, he experiences significant pain in his throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. Most children also develop persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with fever, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may occur. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may develop, even as severe as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly upon discovering their child has tonsillitis.
