Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that cough seems to be more serious, and a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: what symptoms and manifestations will occur if the child's tonsils are inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they first exhibit symptoms such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing. They may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade temperature to a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Additional symptoms may include headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. Due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swollen tonsils can be clearly observed. If the condition progresses, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. It is evident that acute tonsillitis is a very serious condition and can even threaten a child's life. Parents must ensure they take their child to receive treatment promptly.
