Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, coughing is quite severe, also, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the child has tonsillitis, what are the common symptoms.Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat, which may then affect the ears and even lead to otitis media. Some children may also experience certain symptoms during this stage. The temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable at home, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Accompanying high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. Additionally, when the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. In severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis may occur. Therefore, it is advised that parents seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
