Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have seizures due to high fever. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may appear. Careful observation will reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If this is not given proper attention in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
