Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe too, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common condition in children, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry and fuss incessantly due to the sore throat. At the same time, children may also experience fever, or low-grade fever, or high fever ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. Children may also have headaches, and in severe cases, even general body pain. Additionally, they may have chills, fatigue, and the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa can clearly reveal the swelling of the tonsils. Moreover, this condition may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. As a result, pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it promptly.
