Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, they first feel that their throat is very painful. And with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Most children will develop a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. During a fever, many children may also experience headache, body pain, and chills. Upon careful observation, you can see that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Moreover, this disease may also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatism, and joint disease. You can observe your child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
