Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 8 months old. He started saying he had a sore throat and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What symptoms might occur in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Children with tonsillitis may experience symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, fatigue, headache, and chills. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
