Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the symptoms if the child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain, accompanied by a fever. In severe cases, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees Celsius, which should be taken seriously. Additionally, children may feel tired, have a headache, and in more severe cases, experience chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. Moreover, tonsillitis is not just limited to the tonsils; it can further develop and affect the heart and kidneys, potentially causing endocarditis and nephritis, among other conditions. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite serious and may even be life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
