Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, coughed more severely, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may appear if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also occur. It can be seen that the child's tonsils are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. Therefore, if you notice the above symptoms in children, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the occurrence of complications.
