Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said she had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms and manifestations will occur?Doctor's answer:
If the child indeed suffers from tonsillitis, the initial symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child may frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also occur. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this stage. If the condition worsens further, more severe complications may develop, such as sepsis, endocarditis, etc. If the child's condition continues to deteriorate, it is still advisable for parents not to delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
