Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just started. Feels sore throat even when trying to drink water, found that cough seems to be quite severe as well, and seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child's tonsils are inflamed, the first symptom to appear is usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing may also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Along with the sore throat, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, they may also experience headaches or body aches. The child's tonsils are usually red and swollen at this stage. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis may also occur. Therefore, it is evident that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
