Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, they may also have symptoms such as chills and headaches. Many children also feel weak all over. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is advised that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
