Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if an infant or toddler gets tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade one to a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen. If attention is not promptly given, complications may occur, such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is advised that parents take the child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
