Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, said swallowing is painful, found, coughing is quite severe, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the child's tonsils get inflamed, what are the clinical symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat. Most children will also develop a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Additionally, children may experience fatigue, headache, and in more severe cases, chills. At this stage, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. Children with severe symptoms may also develop complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. It is evident that tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment promptly.
