Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. If the child also has a fever, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This should be taken seriously, as it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are usually red and swollen, and they may also be enlarged. Severe complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, may occur, which can directly threaten the child's life. Therefore, parents should take the child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
