Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common childhood illness, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry and fuss due to sore throat. Most children will develop a fever, with severe cases reaching temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. It can be observed that the tonsils are red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Moreover, this condition may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
