Patient's question:
Boys, already 1 year old, at the beginning, said that their throat hurts, found that their voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also a bit of fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms that children with tonsillitis may have.Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis in young children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry and fuss because of a sore throat and inability to swallow normally. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may feel weak, have a headache, and in severe cases, may experience chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
