Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then noticed mild coughing. Also, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children currently experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to detect. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and they are often accompanied by fever. This fever can range from low-grade (not breaking) to high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may also have chills and headaches. Most children feel weak all over, and due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swelling of the tonsils can be clearly observed in children. In some cases, a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite severe and may even be life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
