Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water. Found that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child's tonsils get inflamed?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. Inflammation can even make it difficult to swallow food normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the child may feel tired, have a headache, and in more serious cases, experience chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to this parent that if their child exhibits the symptoms mentioned above, they must seek medical treatment promptly.
