Patient's question:
Boy, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit with pain. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. Additionally, some serious complications may occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it promptly.
