Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 3 years old, began to say that they felt pain when swallowing things. It was found that the cough was quite severe, and in addition, they had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis in children with small ears is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite noticeable. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing. They may also have a fever, which can be severe enough to reach 40 degrees Celsius. It's important to take this seriously, as it may also be accompanied by a headache or general body pain. At this stage, the tonsils are usually swollen and red, and if the condition progresses further, more severe complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. You can observe your child's condition, and if it's already quite serious, it's recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
