Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: What symptoms might occur if a child gets tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat. This will then affect normal swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. During the fever, they may also experience chills and headaches. Most children will feel weak all over, and upon close observation, you can see that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If the condition worsens, it may lead to some serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to treatment as soon as possible.
