Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, what clinical symptoms will appear?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. The child will feel tired and have a headache, and in severe cases, there may be chills. At this time, the tonsils of the child will also be red and swollen, which is mostly caused by inflammation and congestion. If attention is not paid in time, it may lead to some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. It can be seen that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child to treatment in time.
