Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then found that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations will occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Most children will have a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. Additionally, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swelling of the tonsils in children can be clearly observed. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
