Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a low fever.: If the child has tonsillitis, what are the common symptoms?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the initial symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also occur. Careful observation will reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. In severe cases, complications may arise, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and parents are advised to take it seriously and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
