Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. It was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations if an infant or toddler gets tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Additionally, the child will feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, may develop chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If this condition is not taken seriously in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. It is clear that tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment promptly.
