Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, said her throat hurts, found, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: If a child has tonsillitis, what are the common symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they first exhibit symptoms such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature can vary, with low-grade fever being manageable at home, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. In cases of fever, many children may also develop headaches, body aches, and chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If attention is not promptly given, complications may arise, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is strongly recommended that parents do not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
