Question
What Are the Common Symptoms of Infants with Tonsillitis?
Answer
Common symptoms of infant tonsillitis include throat pain that affects normal swallowing function. This is often accompanied by mild or high fever (39-40°C), headache, generalized joint or muscle pain, chills, and fatigue. At this time, the infant’s tonsils may become red and swollen. Severe cases may also lead to complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. Therefore, parents should take infant tonsillitis seriously and seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible.
