Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also occur. Most children will feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are observed to prevent complications.
