Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that he seems to have difficulty swallowing. Additionally, he seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. What symptoms might a child with tonsillitis exhibit?
Answer
After a child develops tonsillitis, most children will experience throat pain, with the pain intensifying when swallowing. They may also have a low-grade or high-grade fever (up to 39-40 degrees Celsius), along with symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils may appear red and swollen. If the condition worsens, it is recommended that parents seek medical treatment early to avoid possible complications.
