Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, said it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that appear if the 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. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this stage, and severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child suffering from tonsillitis.
