Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had a slight fever and felt lacking in energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly suffers from tonsillitis, the initial symptom is a sore throat. As a result, the child will frequently cry because they are unable to swallow. The child is usually accompanied by a fever, either a low-grade one that persists or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Headache or body pain may also occur. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen, and in some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also appear. It is evident that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it promptly.
