Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. It also seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: What symptoms would a child with tonsillitis have?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 and become painful. Along with the sore throat, some children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade one to a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils are also red and swollen in this condition. Moreover, this type of illness may lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. You can observe your child's condition. If it has become severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
