Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 7 years old, initially felt pain when drinking water, noticed that their voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and have been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the possible clinical symptoms when a child gets tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first symptom the child will experience is a sore throat, which may then affect the ears and even lead to otitis media. The child may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen, and a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents should pay attention to it. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
