Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and has been a bit feverish, please ask: what symptoms would occur if the child has tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat. It may then affect the ears, potentially leading to otitis media. The child often has a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the child may feel weak, have a headache, and in severe cases, experience chills. Careful observation will reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. You can observe the child's condition. If it appears serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
