Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What symptoms may occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. At the same time, children may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even pain all over the body. At the same time, they may also have chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is suggested that parents take their children to the doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
