Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What symptoms will a child experience if they develop tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. At the same time, children may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. Children may also feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, chills. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly if any of these symptoms appear to prevent complications.
