Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. It was discovered that her cough seemed quite severe as well. She also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What symptoms might appear if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is usually a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. The child may also feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, experience chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
