Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit fever, no energy, please ask: if the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would there be.Doctor's answer:
Child tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they first exhibit symptoms such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing. In addition, most children may also experience persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headache. The swollen tonsils are visibly red and swollen due to congestion. Moreover, it's not just the tonsils that become inflamed; further progression may also affect the heart and kidneys, leading to conditions like endocarditis and nephritis. You can observe your child's condition—if it's already quite severe, it's recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
