Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also noticed that her cough seemed more severe, and it looked like she had a low fever that hadn't gone away. I would like to ask: What clinical symptoms might occur if a child's tonsillitis develops?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are relatively easy to detect. Firstly, most children will feel a sore throat. Some children at this stage may also experience vomiting. The temperature varies, and low fever can be observed, while high fever requires medical attention. Along with fever, children may also have chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen. Additionally, a small number of children may develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents are advised to pay close attention to it. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
