Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever for a while. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to notice. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and they may also develop a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Headache or body aches may also occur. Additionally, when the tonsils are swollen and congested, they can appear red and swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Tonsillitis in children is a serious condition, and parents are advised to take it seriously and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
