Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has been a bit feverish. Please ask: if the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would there be?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. Additionally, most children may develop persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever during this time. In cases of fever, many children also exhibit symptoms such as headache, body aches, and chills. At the same time, due to diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swollen tonsils can be clearly observed. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is advised 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.
