Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and she noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of a child's tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the initial symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will cry frequently because they are unable to swallow. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Along with fever, there may be chills and headaches as well. Most children feel extremely weak, and it is clearly observable that the tonsils are swollen and red due to congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten the child's life. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment.
