Patient's question:
My male child is 5 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience self-reported throat pain. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also become painful. Children may have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Along with fever, they may also have chills and headaches. Most children feel extremely weak, and it is clearly observable that the tonsils are swollen and red due to congestion. If attention is not paid in time, complications may occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Tonsillitis symptoms can be quite serious and may even affect life, so it is essential to seek treatment promptly.
