Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in the throat, found that coughing is quite severe, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur if a child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, their ears may also ache. The child may have a fever, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It's important to take this seriously. Along with fever, the child may also have symptoms like chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils can be red and swollen, which is usually due to inflammation and congestion. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition, and it is essential to detect and treat it as early as possible.
