Question

What clinical symptoms may appear in infants with tonsillitis?

Answer

When infants experience tonsillitis, they may experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting their normal swallowing. They may also have mild to severe fevers, and in some cases, seizures due to high fever. Additionally, they may exhibit chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils will appear red and swollen, and may lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Infants with tonsillitis should be taken seriously by parents, and it is advisable to seek medical treatment for the child as soon as possible.
