Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever, please ask: what symptoms will appear if the child's tonsils are inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the condition worsens, the inflammation can also cause ear pain. Additionally, most children may develop persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever during this time. Along with fever, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may also appear. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swelling of the tonsils can be clearly observed. Moreover, tonsillitis is not just limited to the tonsils; it can further progress to affect the heart and kidneys, potentially leading to conditions like endocarditis and nephritis. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite severe and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, it is essential to seek timely treatment.
