Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever never subsided. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur when infants and young children develop 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 varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Along with the fever, the child may also exhibit symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils are red, swollen, and congested, and may also lead to serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. It is very serious for a child to develop tonsillitis, and parents are advised to take this matter seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
