Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if a child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, the first symptoms they will exhibit are sore throat and difficulty swallowing. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching temperatures of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever may be chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this stage, the child's tonsils will also be red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. Children with severe symptoms may also develop complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
