Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in infants and toddlers?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. They may also have fatigue, headache, generalized pain, and chills. The tonsils of the child are red and swollen at this stage, and they are usually enlarged. Moreover, this condition can lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
