Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. 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. The child may also have a fever, which could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. In addition to the fever, the child may experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. If this condition is not given proper attention in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
