Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she had been a little feverish. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. If the inflammation is severe, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Additionally, the child may feel tired, have a headache, and in more serious cases, experience chills. Careful observation will reveal that the tonsils are completely red and swollen. Moreover, this condition can lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that if your child exhibits these symptoms, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
