Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and because the child cannot swallow, they will frequently cry. The child will also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and the child will feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, may even have chills. At this time, the tonsils will be red and swollen. If the condition progresses, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents should take it seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
