Question
Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, just started, says throat pain when drinking water, found that coughing is quite severe, and has a slight fever all the time. Please ask: What symptoms appear in tonsillitis during childbirth?
Answer
The tonsils are located in the throat area, so one of the most obvious symptoms of tonsillitis is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, the child may experience chills and fatigue. The tonsils can be visibly red and swollen due to congestion. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. If the child’s condition continues to worsen, it is advisable for parents not to delay and to take their child for treatment as soon as possible.
