Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. She also had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit, accompanied by fever. The child may have a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils of the child are red and swollen at this time, and they are usually enlarged. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. It is evident that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
