Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that may occur in young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they experience significant pain in their throat and ears, which affects normal swallowing. Additionally, most children may also have persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, they may also exhibit symptoms such as chills and headaches. Many children feel weak all over. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis may also occur. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
