Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: what are the possible symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. Moreover, with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Additionally, most children also experience persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever at this time, accompanied by headaches or generalized body pain. At this stage, the child's tonsils are usually red and swollen, often appearing enlarged. If the condition worsens, it may lead to serious complications such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, parents should take their child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from further deteriorating and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
