Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if the 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. The child may have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in serious cases. It should be taken seriously. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, even aches all over the body. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue, and their tonsils will be red and swollen. If attention is not paid in time, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Tonsillitis in children is very serious. We hope parents can pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
