Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and also had a mild cough. Additionally, she had a low fever. Could you please tell me what are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will also affect normal swallowing. Most children will have a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. They may also experience headaches or body aches. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
