Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms if the child's tonsils become inflamed.Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Children may also have a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Headache or body pain may also occur. It is clearly observable that the tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms appear to prevent complications.
