Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, found that coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that a child will have if tonsillitis occurs?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the primary symptoms, which can spread to the ears if severe. The child may also have a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius in serious cases. This should be taken seriously, as it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills. At this stage, the child's tonsils will be red and swollen. Additionally, this condition can lead to more severe complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic disease, and joint disease. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite serious and may even affect life. Therefore, prompt treatment is essential.
