Patient's question:
Boys, they are already 1 year old. At the beginning, it was painful to drink water, and they found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms will appear if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
As things stand, tonsillitis in young children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite pronounced. For example, children often cry and fuss incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing. At the same time, they may also develop a fever, which could range from low-grade to high-grade, such as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Not only do children with fever also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches, but their tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this time. If the condition progresses further, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, parents are advised to take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
