Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if the child's tonsillitis occurs?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in more severe cases, they may have pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills, fatigue, and it is clearly observable that the tonsils of the child become red and swollen due to congestion. Additionally, a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child suffering from tonsillitis.
