Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Accompanying high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils should become inflamed, congested, and swollen at this time. If attention is not promptly given, complications may occur, such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis, among others. It is clear that pediatric pharyngitis is a very serious condition and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
