Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Now, his high fever has not subsided. Please ask: When tonsillitis occurs in children, what are the common clinical symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Currently, tonsillitis of the small ear is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry and fuss incessantly because of throat pain and inability to swallow normally. The child may also have a fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. At this time, the tonsils are also in a red, swollen, and congested state. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening continuously, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as early as possible.
