Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough is quite severe, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. In cases of inflammation, they may even have difficulty swallowing food normally. Additionally, most children will experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. The child may also feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, chills. At this stage, the tonsils are usually congested, red, and swollen. If the condition worsens, it may lead to serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
