Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, which can spread to the ears if severe. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. At the same time as fever, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. If attention is not promptly paid and complications occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention immediately once their child is diagnosed with tonsillitis.
