Patient's question:
Boys, already 6 years old, at the beginning, a little sore throat, noticed, cough is more intense, and, seems low fever has not subsided, please ask: if the child has tonsillitis what symptoms will appear.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom to appear is usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Headache or body pain may also occur. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
