Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough seems to be more severe, and it seems that the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, the first symptoms they will exhibit are sore throat and difficulty swallowing. They may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade one to a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, they might have pain throughout their body. At the same time, they may also have chills and feel weak. At this stage, the tonsils are usually swollen and red, and the condition may lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, or joint disease. You can observe your child's condition. If it appears to be severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
