Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, what symptoms would there be?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from tonsillitis, the first symptom they may experience is a sore throat, which can then potentially affect the ears and even lead to otitis media. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. At the same time, they may also experience headaches or general body pain. The tonsils of the child will be red and swollen at this time, and some children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
