Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever, please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Additionally, children often experience fever, ranging from low-grade to high-grade, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. During fever, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may also occur. At this time, the tonsils are also swollen and congested. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
