Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 3 years old, initially said they had a sore throat. Upon observation, they have severe coughing and have had a slightly feverish condition. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when a young child has tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is sore throat, and the child's swallowing may also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Along with the sore throat, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. While having a fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. Additionally, when the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
