Female baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also, seems to have a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. Children may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade with a temperature of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with this, they may experience headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils will also be red, swollen, and congested. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, we strongly recommend that parents, if their child exhibits the symptoms mentioned above, seek medical treatment promptly.
