Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of children's tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and due to this, the child will frequently cry because they are unable to swallow. At the same time, the child may also develop a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, there may be chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this stage, the tonsils are usually swollen and red. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
