Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like his low-grade fever had not subsided. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Most children also develop a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Symptoms may also include headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
