Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. While experiencing sore throat, some children may also have a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, may experience chills. At this time, the tonsils of the child will appear red and swollen. Moreover, this condition may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
