Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, he has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptoms to appear are usually a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. The child is often accompanied by fever, or persistent low-grade fever, or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time as the fever, the child may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, and they are often relatively large. Moreover, this disease can also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. You can observe the child's condition, and if it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
