Question
A one-month-old baby girl is experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. What are the symptoms of baby tonsillitis?
Answer
The tonsils are located at the back of the throat, and inflammation can lead to a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, sometimes reaching 40 degrees Celsius. The baby may also feel fatigue, headache, body aches, and chills. The tonsils are often congested and appear red and swollen. In severe cases, the baby may develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Parents should pay attention to their baby’s symptoms and seek medical treatment promptly.
