Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What symptoms will appear if the child's tonsils get inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis in young children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Most children will develop a fever, with severe cases reaching temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may also experience chills and headaches. Many children also feel extremely weak, and it is clearly observable that their tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
