Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever, please ask: what are the common symptoms that may occur if the child's tonsillitis happens.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Most children will also develop a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. They may also experience headaches or body aches. At this point, the tonsils will be red and swollen, usually due to inflammation and congestion. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is recommended that parents not delay and take them to seek treatment as soon as possible.
