Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, and coughing seems to be quite severe as well. It seems like a low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Children may also have headaches, and in severe cases, they may experience pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills and fatigue. Careful observation can reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
