Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old, at the beginning, said that swallowing something hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may occur if the child's tonsillitis occurs.Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and children often have a fever, either a low-grade fever that doesn't subside or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even pain throughout the body. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue. The tonsils are also red and swollen, congested. If attention is not paid in time, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. It can be seen that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
