Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and seemed to have a little difficulty swallowing. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Additionally, most children will experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. While fevering, the child may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the enlargement of the tonsils can be clearly observed in the child. If the condition progresses further, more severe complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
