Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What symptoms will appear if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. In addition to fever, children may also show symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are observed to prevent complications.
