Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old, just starting to say she has a sore throat, discovered that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and because of this, the child cannot swallow and will cry frequently. The child will also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This needs to be taken seriously. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils will be red and swollen at this time, and they are often enlarged. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. 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.
