Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, coughing is quite severe, and, a little fever and no energy, please ask: If a child has tonsillitis, what clinical symptoms will appear.Doctor's answer:
Enlarged tonsils are one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, the first symptoms they will show are sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, they may also experience headaches or body aches. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. In more severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
