Patient's question:
My little boy is 2 years old. At first, he said that drinking water made his throat hurt, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. It also seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and many will experience fever. In severe cases, the temperature can rise to 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but also exhibits symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils are also swollen and often appear enlarged. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
