Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, said his throat hurts, noticed that, swallowing seems a bit difficult, also, seems like a low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the tonsils get inflamed, what symptoms will the child have.Doctor's answer:
Once a child contracts tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is severe throat pain. If the inflammation is severe, they may even have difficulty swallowing food. The child may also have a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 40 degrees Celsius. It's important to take this seriously. In addition to fever, the child may experience symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are red and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, parents should take their child to the doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
