Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was also quite severe, and he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if there is a slight inflammation of the tonsils, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At the same time, when the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect it early and treat it early.
