What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in babies?

There are many common diseases in children, and each disease has its own symptoms. You should also be careful when choosing the treatment method to try not to harm the baby's body. Tonsillitis is also a disease that many babies will suffer from, but many friends do not know much about this disease. This disease is relatively complicated. So what are the symptoms of baby tonsillitis?

Symptoms of focal tonsillitis in children:

Repeated attacks of acute tonsillitis may develop into chronic tonsillitis, the cause of which is related to the low immunity of children. Chronic tonsillitis Pathogenic bacteria are stored in the tonsils. The toxins secreted by the bacteria not only enter the blood and inflammatory secretions and are swallowed to irritate the gastrointestinal tract, but can also cause long-term low fever, indigestion, loss of appetite in children, and even affect growth and development. When the body's immunity decreases, it can have an acute attack. At the same time, bacteria and toxins can cause allergic reactions in the body, causing rheumatic fever (rheumatic arthritis and rheumatic heart disease), nephritis and other diseases.

Causes

Due to infection by bacteria and viruses, bacteria are more common. The pathogens are mostly hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, and pneumococci. These bacteria usually exist in the human throat and tonsil crypts. Under normal circumstances, due to the integrity of the tonsil surface epithelium and the continuous secretion of mucous glands, the bacteria can be discharged from the crypt opening along with the shed epithelial bacteria, thus maintaining the health of the body. When the body's resistance is reduced due to excessive fatigue, cold, or local effects of physical or chemical factors, the blood supply to the tonsils is reduced, the glandular secretion function is reduced, and the epithelial defense ability is reduced. Bacteria take advantage of the situation, multiply, and cause tonsillitis.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of baby tonsillitis.
