Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms that may appear if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain becomes more intense when swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. The child may also experience a headache, and in severe cases, even pain all over the body. At the same time, chills, fatigue, and a visibly red and swollen tonsil due to congestion can be observed. If attention is not paid in time, complications may occur, such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis, among others. 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.
