Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing something. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Moreover, most children also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. While having a fever, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. It can be observed that the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which directly threaten life. It can be seen that pharyngitis is a very serious disease, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it early.
