Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at first, he said his throat hurts, it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now, the high fever hasn't subsided. Please ask: What are the possible symptoms that may occur when a child has tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite prevalent, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to sore throats and inability to swallow normally. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, they may also have chills, headaches, and other symptoms. Many children also feel extremely weak. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this stage. Moreover, it's not just the tonsils that are affected—the condition can further develop to involve the heart and kidneys, potentially causing endocarditis or nephritis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are quite severe and can even be life-threatening. Therefore, prompt treatment is essential.
