Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking. She noticed that her cough seemed quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis feel severe throat pain, and the pain becomes even stronger when swallowing. Additionally, children often have a fever, ranging from low-grade to as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever, they may experience chills, weakness, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis may occur, directly threatening their lives. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
