Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and the child will frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen. If attention is not promptly given, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. It is evident that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child for treatment in a timely manner.
