Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and it was found that his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: When tonsillitis occurs in young children, what are the common symptoms and manifestations?Doctor's answer:
Childhood tonsillitis is a common pediatric illness. One of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry incessantly due to sore throat. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. As can be seen, childhood tonsillitis is a very serious illness and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
