Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and manifestations if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, which affects normal swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Along with fever, the child may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is clear that children's tonsillitis is a very serious condition and can even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
