Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just starting. When talking, he feels a sore throat, notices it, accompanied by mild coughing, and a little fever, no energy. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat. Then it will affect normal swallowing. Most children will have a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even pain all over the body. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. If the condition progresses further, more severe complications may occur, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and others. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child for treatment as soon as possible.
