Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and coughing seemed to be getting worse as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Moreover, most children will also experience persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may also occur. At this stage, the tonsils are also swollen and congested. In addition, children may develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis. Parents are encouraged to pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
