Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, says she has a sore throat, noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience a sore throat on their own. If the inflammation worsens, the ears may also become painful. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. When the tonsils are congested, swelling and redness can be observed. If the condition continues to develop, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, etc. The symptoms of tonsillitis are quite severe and can even be life-threatening. Therefore, it is essential to seek timely treatment.
