Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, it may be accompanied by headaches or body aches. At this point, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If attention is not paid in time, it may lead to some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis. It is hoped that parents can pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
