Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he talked, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation worsens, the ears may also become painful. The child may have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Additionally, the child may feel weak, have a headache, and in severe cases, chills may occur. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. Moreover, this condition may lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is evident that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect and treat it as early as possible.
