Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 8 years old, started by saying they had a sore throat. It was found that their cough seemed to be more severe as well, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations would occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, their ears may also ache. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. During a fever, many children may also have headaches, body aches, and chills. You can see that the child's tonsils are red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
