Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may occur if the child develops tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat, which may then affect the ears and even lead to otitis media. The child may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even experience convulsions due to high fever. Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel weak and tired, and upon close observation, you can see that the tonsils are swollen and red. If this is not taken seriously in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
