Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur when a child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also ache. The child may have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in serious cases. It is important to take this seriously. During a fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, or chills. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the throat mucosa, the enlargement of the tonsils can be clearly observed. If attention is not given promptly, complications may occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. It is evident that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it as soon as possible.
