Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, who has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and has had a low-grade fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child may also feel tired, have a headache, and in more severe cases, experience chills. Additionally, when the tonsils are swollen and red, they can be observed as red and swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is clear that tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
