Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. Later, it was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't break. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that small ear tonsillitis is indeed relatively common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, ranging from 39-40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may experience fatigue, headaches, general body pain, and chills. A close examination can reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Moreover, this condition may also lead to more severe complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic diseases, and joint disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening continuously, it is still recommended that parents do not delay in seeking treatment and take their child to see a doctor as soon as possible.
