Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. Careful observation will reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and parents are urged to take it seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
