Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, and found that it is accompanied by mild coughing, and she has a slight fever and is not energetic. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of infant tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit and become painful. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also exhibit chills, fatigue, and headaches. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child for treatment as soon as possible.
