Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just starting. She says drinking water even hurts her throat, and she has noticed that her cough is quite severe. At the same time, she has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even experience convulsions due to high fever. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, they may experience pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills, weakness. The tonsils should be swollen and red at this time. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is clear that tonsillitis in children is a very serious illness and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their child to be treated in time.
