Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if a child's tonsils get inflamed?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever. Young children may even experience convulsions due to high fever. Additionally, the child may feel weak, have a headache, or experience body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils will also be red and swollen, and they are often larger than usual. Moreover, this condition can lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
