Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing things. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What symptoms can occur with tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also become painful. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Additionally, children may feel weak, have headaches, experience body aches, and even chills. At this stage, the tonsils are often congested, appearing red and swollen. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. If the condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
