Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the possible clinical manifestations if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. In addition to fever, many children may also experience headache or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin conditions. Therefore, it is suggested to this parent that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
