Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that his cough seems to be more severe as well. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis in children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Additionally, children usually have a fever, which may be low-grade or as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Moreover, children may also experience fatigue, headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening further and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
