Patient's question:
Boys, already 9 years old, at first, said they had a sore throat, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: if the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms will occur?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed relatively common, and its symptoms are also quite noticeable. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever ranging from 39 to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, they may experience fatigue, headaches, generalized body pain, and chills. Moreover, due to diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, it can be clearly observed that the tonsils are swollen. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
