Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, with severe cases potentially reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. While fevering, children may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the child's tonsils are red and swollen. If attention is not promptly paid, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention immediately once they notice their child suffering from tonsillitis.
