Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, what are the clinical manifestations?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they first exhibit symptoms such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It's important to take this seriously. During a fever, many children may also experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the child's tonsils are often red and swollen, and severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
