Question
Dear Baby, she is just 2 months old. Initially, she said her throat was sore, and it was discovered that her coughing was also quite severe. At the same time, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: What symptoms might a child with tonsillitis have?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases, with one of its common symptoms being throat pain. Many children cry and fuss constantly due to throat pain. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it may reach 40 degrees Celsius. Children not only have a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils are also in a red and swollen, congested state. Children with severe cases may also experience complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic myocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease and can even threaten a child’s life. Parents must timely take their children for treatment.
