Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what symptoms would he have?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be even more intense when swallowing. At the same time, children may also have a fever, which could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this stage, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it promptly.
