Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of infant tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and they are often accompanied by fever—either persistent low-grade fever or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever, there may be chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and some serious complications may occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
