Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would there be?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Not only will the child have a fever, but they may also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. It can be seen that the tonsils are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Additionally, a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents are advised to pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
