Question
My baby is only 3 months old, and recently, they feel pain when swallowing water, accompanied by coughing and a low fever. Could this be pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When children suffer from tonsillitis, they may experience throat pain, difficulty swallowing, along with sore throat and fever, which could be either persistent low fever or high fever. Other symptoms may include headache, body ache, chills, and fatigue, as well as the tonsils becoming congested and swollen. If these symptoms are observed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications.
