Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild coughing. Moreover, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms would a child experience if they have tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. The child may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, pain throughout the body. At the same time, there may be chills and fatigue. The tonsils of the child will also be red and swollen at this time. Moreover, this type of disease may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
