Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He also noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What symptoms can occur in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom to appear is usually a sore throat, and the child may also experience varying degrees of difficulty swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
