Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, what symptoms will appear?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. The child will also have a fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. Along with the high fever, there may be chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
