Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms will he have.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing may also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swelling of the tonsils in the child can be clearly observed. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to the occurrence of complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. It is evident that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
