Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that his cough seemed more severe. Additionally, he has been running a low fever for quite some time. Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Moreover, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, they may also have chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this stage, the child's tonsils are usually red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to treatment as soon as possible.
