Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. I noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if a child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to detect. First, most children will feel severe throat pain. At the same time, they may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching temperatures of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in more severe cases, they may have pain throughout their body. Along with this, they may also have chills, fatigue, and swollen, red tonsils. Children with more severe conditions may even develop complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. You can observe your child's condition, and if it has become serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
