Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat felt sore even when drinking water. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if there is a small tonsil inflammation, one of the most obvious symptoms is a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even experience convulsions due to high fever. Accompanying the high fever are chills, weakness, and headache. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are usually larger than normal. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis, endocarditis, etc. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
