Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and many will also have persistent low fever or sudden high fever. The child not only has a fever but may also exhibit chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the child's tonsils are often red and swollen, and they may be larger than usual. Complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders may also occur. Therefore, if you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the occurrence of complications.
