Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. It was discovered that her cough is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis 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. The child may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If attention is not promptly paid, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, we strongly advise this parent that if their child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
