Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 9 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young children once it occurs?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. The child will also have a fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and it may also be accompanied by a headache or body pain. At this time, the tonsils of the child will be red and swollen, and they are usually larger. In some cases, the child may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is clear that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and can even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child to seek treatment in a timely manner.
