Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that he also has a slight cough, and he has a low-grade fever and is not energetic. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation worsens, the ears may also become painful. Children may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may have chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease, and it is essential to detect and treat it as early as possible.
