Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children experience severe throat pain, and they are often accompanied by fever—either persistent low-grade fever or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever, there may be chills, fatigue, and headache. At this stage, the tonsils are usually congested, red, and swollen, and may lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is advised that parents should take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
