Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting. She says it hurts when she swallows things, and it's accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she has a slight fever and isn't very energetic. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child's tonsils are inflamed?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common illness among children, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children will cry and fuss incessantly due to sore throat. Additionally, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with fever, they may also have chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this time, the child's tonsils are red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. 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.
