Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, found that coughing is quite severe, and has been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, the child may experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
