Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that she also has a slight cough, and she has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: What symptoms would occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Most children will have a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even aches all over the body. At the same time, chills, fatigue, and redness and swelling of the tonsils may be observed. If this is not given proper attention in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take the child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
