Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the symptoms if an infant or toddler has tonsillitis?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. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, even aches all over the body. At the same time, chills and fatigue may occur. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
