Patient's question:
Boys, who are already one year old, have just started complaining that it hurts when they swallow things. They notice that their voice is a bit hoarse when they speak, and it is accompanied by low fever. Please ask: When a child has tonsillitis, what clinical symptoms often appear.Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a very sore throat. In cases of inflammation, they may even have difficulty swallowing food normally. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel weak all over, and you can see that their tonsils are red and swollen at this time. This is usually due to inflammation and congestion. Moreover, this condition can lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic disease, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they notice their child has tonsillitis.
