Question
My 5-year-old son is experiencing throat pain, a hoarse voice, and a low-grade fever. What could be the cause?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, they may experience pain in the throat and ears, affecting swallowing, and may be accompanied by a persistent low-grade fever or a sudden high fever. They may also have symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headaches. Tonsillitis should be treated promptly to avoid potential serious consequences.
