Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the symptoms that occur with pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat. Most children will also experience fever, with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. While feverish, children may also develop chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. It is clearly observable that the tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are noticed to prevent the occurrence of complications.
