Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a slightly feverish condition all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what are the common symptoms?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 also be accompanied by headache or body pain. At this stage, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also very swollen. If the condition continues to develop, it may lead to some particularly severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents are advised to pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
