Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 month old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a small ear tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even rise to 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. Careful observation can reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Moreover, this condition may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. It is evident that children's tonsillitis is a very serious illness and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
