Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that she also had mild coughing. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations will occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Additionally, the child is often accompanied by fever, either a low-grade, persistent fever or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to the occurrence of complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
