Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. He noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, what are the clinical symptoms?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptoms are usually a sore throat, and the child may also experience varying degrees of difficulty swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, even aches all over the body. At the same time, there may be chills, fatigue, and upon close observation, the tonsils will be found to be swollen and red. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is imperative to seek medical treatment promptly.
