Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptoms are usually a sore throat, and the child may also have difficulty swallowing to varying degrees. Additionally, the child often has a fever, ranging from a low-grade one that doesn't break or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this stage, the tonsils are typically congested, red, and swollen, and may lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
