Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and it was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, she had been running a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite apparent. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. They may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. In addition, children may experience fatigue, headaches, body aches, and chills. Careful observation reveals that the entire tonsil is swollen and red. If attention is not promptly paid and complications occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately to prevent these complications.
