Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, there was a little pain in the throat. She noticed it, swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations will occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so once there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and the child may have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, pain may be felt throughout the body. At the same time, chills, fatigue, and redness and swelling of the tonsils may be observed, which are mostly caused by inflammation and congestion. Additionally, a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
