Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat. Most children will also experience fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen, and they are often larger than usual. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. 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.
