Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, noticed that, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would there be?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Headaches may also occur in children, and in severe cases, they may experience pain all over their body. At the same time, they may have chills and fatigue. Due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swelling of the tonsils can be clearly observed. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
