Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just started, saying his throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and at the same time, he already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat. Then, it will affect normal swallowing. Along with the sore throat, some children may also have a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. Careful observation can reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. It is clear that children's tonsillitis is a very serious condition and may even endanger their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment promptly.
