Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that appear when a child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature can vary, with low-grade fever being manageable to observe, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Along with fever, symptoms like chills and headaches may also occur. Most children will feel weak and tired. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
