Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, his throat feels a bit sore, and he has noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms and manifestations 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. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature can vary, with low-grade fever being manageable to observe, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. The child may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even generalized body pain. At the same time, chills, fatigue, and redness or swelling of the tonsils may be observed when they are congested. Additionally, a small number of children may develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
