Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 2 years old, initially said that swallowing something hurt. They noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and they had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations if the tonsils become inflamed in children.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the condition is inflamed, their ears may also follow suit. Most children will develop a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever comes chills, fatigue, and headache. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. Moreover, this disease may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are noticed in children to avoid the occurrence of complications.
