Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: If the child's tonsils get inflamed, what symptoms will be shown.Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they first exhibit symptoms such as sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Some children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade temperature to a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Alongside these symptoms, they may also experience headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis may also occur. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take their child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
