Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis 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. At the same time, some children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade fever to a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, may experience chills. Careful observation can reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is recommended that parents, if their child exhibits the symptoms mentioned above, should seek medical treatment promptly.
