Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
