Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if a child's tonsils are inflamed?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. During a fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. You can observe your child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
