Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Noticing it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a low fever for a long time. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If tonsillitis occurs, most children will experience a sore throat on their own. If the condition worsens, the inflammation may also affect the ears, causing ear pain. Children may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this stage, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and they may also have serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly if your child shows any of these symptoms to prevent complications from occurring.
