Patient's question:
My son, who is 8 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. I noticed that he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lackluster. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Childhood tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Most children will have a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Along with the fever, children may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen. Complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders may also occur. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
