Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, and her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain is even more intense when swallowing. Additionally, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever during this time. While fevering, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are often in a congested state, appearing not only red but also swollen. Moreover, it's not just tonsillitis—further progression can affect the heart and kidneys, potentially leading to conditions like endocarditis and nephritis. Therefore, it is advised that parents seek medical attention for their children as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
