Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her cough seems to be more severe, and she also has a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. The fever is often accompanied by chills, headaches, and other symptoms. Most children also feel extremely weak, and it is clearly observable that their tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
