Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things, and it was discovered that his cough is also quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when a child gets tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child indeed suffers from tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat. As a result, the child will frequently cry because they are unable to swallow. The child will also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This is serious and should be taken seriously. Additionally, there may be a headache or general body pain. At this stage, the tonsils will also be red and swollen. If the condition progresses, it may lead to some particularly severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
