Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been a little feverish. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common illness among children. One of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children will cry and fuss because of the sore throat. Some children may also experience certain conditions during this stage. The body temperature varies; if it's a low fever, it can be monitored, but if it's a high fever, medical attention is necessary. Additionally, symptoms such as headache, general body pain, fatigue, and chills may occur. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are usually larger than normal. If this is not given attention in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. You can observe the child's condition, and if it is already severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
