What are the common symptoms when a child's tonsils get inflamed

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and also had low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child's tonsils get inflamed.

Doctor's answer:

Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Along with fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel extremely weak, and it is clearly observable that the tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. Complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders may also develop. As a result, pharyngitis is a very serious condition that must be detected and treated as early as possible.
