Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She also had mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the symptoms that may occur with infant 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. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and it may also be accompanied by a headache or general body pain. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also very swollen. In severely ill children, complications may also occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to avoid further deterioration of the condition and prevent unnecessary harm to the child.
