Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She notices that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur when infants and young children develop tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. Children may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Along with fever, they may also experience chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis, endocarditis, etc. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
