Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat, and it's found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what are the clinical manifestations?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to detect. First, most children will feel a sore throat; while experiencing throat pain, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils of the child will be red and swollen at this time. Children with severe symptoms may also develop complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. 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.
