Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What symptoms will appear if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Additionally, the child usually has a fever, either a low-grade one that doesn't break or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may also experience chills and headaches. Most children feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested, and may lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
