Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, cough seems to be more severe as well, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What symptoms can occur if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child often has a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, they may also have a headache or body aches. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. If the condition progresses further, more severe complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Tonsillitis in children is a serious condition, and parents should pay close attention to it. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
