Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had been running a slight fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis tonsillaris is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it can spread to the ears. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. Additionally, when the tonsils are congested, swelling and redness can be observed. Moreover, this condition can also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and arthritis. The symptoms of pharyngitis tonsillaris are quite severe and can even be life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
