Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was noticed to have mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What symptoms would appear if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common childhood illness, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry and fuss incessantly due to sore throat. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and the child may also experience fatigue, headache, and even body pain, as well as chills. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents are advised to pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
