Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that appear when a child's tonsillitis occurs.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation worsens, their ears may also start to ache. Most children will develop a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can rise as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the high fever, symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache may appear. Careful observation will reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is evident that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
