Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat. I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child actually has tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat, and the child will frequently cry because they are unable to swallow. 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. Headache or body pain may also occur. The tonsils of the child will be red and swollen at this time, and they are often enlarged. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take the child to the doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
