Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things. Noticed that coughing also seems to be more severe. At the same time, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children who have it?Doctor's answer:
As of now, tonsillitis of the small ears is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite noticeable. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and inability to swallow normally. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature varies among individuals; if it's a low fever, it can be monitored, but a high fever requires immediate medical attention. In cases of fever, many children may also exhibit symptoms such as headache, body pain, and chills. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this stage. Additionally, this condition may lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic diseases, and joint diseases. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once any of these symptoms are observed in children to prevent the occurrence of complications.
