Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What symptoms will appear if the child's tonsils are inflamed.Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Additionally, the child usually has a fever, either a low-grade one that doesn't break or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the child's tonsils will also be red and swollen. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. You can observe the child's condition, and if it appears serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
