Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. He just started saying his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, which can spread to the ears if severe. Children usually also have a fever, either a persistent low-grade one or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by headache or general body pain. At this stage, the tonsils are also in a state of redness, swelling, and congestion. Additionally, a small number of children may experience complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
