Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would he have?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, their ears may also ache. The child may have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also appear. Most children feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
