Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 9 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young children once it occurs?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. The child will also have a fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and it may also be accompanied by a headache or general body pain. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is clear that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and can even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child for treatment in a timely manner.
