Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms would a toddler show if they have tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from tonsillitis, the first symptom they will experience is a sore throat, which may then affect the ears and even lead to otitis media. At this stage, some children may also experience certain symptoms. The temperature varies, and low-grade fever can be monitored, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Additionally, the child may feel weak, have a headache, or experience body pain, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. Therefore, if any of the above symptoms are observed in a child, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the occurrence of complications.
