Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it was accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What symptoms may occur if a child gets tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a minor case of tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and the child may have a certain fever. In severe cases, the fever can reach 40 degrees Celsius. It should be taken seriously. In addition to the fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, you can see that the tonsils are also red and swollen, which is usually caused by inflammation and congestion. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. 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.
