Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she talked, and at the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Most children will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils should become congested and swollen at this stage. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and others. Therefore, it is recommended that parents, if their child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, must seek medical treatment promptly.
