What symptoms will occur if a child has tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if a child has tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat, and many will also have persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. During a fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. It can be seen that the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
