Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 5 years old, just started experiencing a slight pain in her throat. She noticed that her cough also seems to be more severe. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if tonsillitis occurs, one of the most obvious symptoms is a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even rise to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If timely attention is not paid, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
