Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. It was found that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What symptoms and manifestations will appear if a child has tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, their ears may also ache. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. Children may also feel weak, have headaches, or even general body pain, as well as chills. Careful observation will reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. 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 not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
