Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations can occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It is important to take this seriously, as the child may also feel tired, have a headache, and in more severe cases, chills. At this time, the tonsils will be red and swollen, and they are often larger than usual. Additionally, this condition can lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
