Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit and become painful. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could range from a low-grade fever to a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this point, the tonsils of the child will be red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
