Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by headaches or general body pain. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and others. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once the above symptoms are observed in a child to prevent the occurrence of complications.
