Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if the child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptoms to appear are usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. In addition, the child often has a fever, either a low-grade, persistent one or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, congested, and swollen. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to some complications, such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
