Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. He just started saying his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe. At the same time, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience throat pain on their own. If the inflammation worsens, their ears may also start to ache. At the same time, children may also have a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever ranging from 39 to 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may also develop symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are also swollen and congested. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it promptly.
