Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At the beginning, there was a slight sore throat, and it was noticed that coughing seemed to be more severe as well. It seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: When tonsillitis occurs in young children, what symptoms are commonly seen.Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Additionally, children may feel tired, have headaches, and, in severe cases, experience chills. When the tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion, it is important to pay attention promptly to prevent complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents are advised to take this seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
