Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and he has a slight fever and is not energetic. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if a child has a mild tonsil inflammation, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and often accompanied by fever—either a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Along with fever, chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel weak all over. At this time, the child's tonsils may also appear red and swollen, which is usually due to inflammation and congestion. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed persistently worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay in seeking medical treatment as soon as possible.
