Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that when speaking, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a small ear tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. When fever occurs, many children may also have headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also very swollen. Children with severe illness may also have complications, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis. It is hoped that parents can pay attention to this and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
