Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry non-stop due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. At the same time, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may feel tired, have headaches, and in severe cases, may experience chills. It is clearly observable that the tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. 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.
