Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, it seemed like she had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. With inflammation, they may even struggle to swallow food normally. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It's important to take this seriously. The child may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, pain all over the body. At the same time, they may also have chills, fatigue, and the tonsils will be red, swollen, and congested. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, parents should take their child to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
