Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when infants and young children get tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is usually a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Fever is also one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, congested, and swollen, and may also lead to some serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. 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.
