Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts when swallowing, and it was discovered that his cough is quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: What are the common clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat, 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 headaches. Careful observation reveals that the tonsils are completely red and swollen. Additionally, the child may develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, we advise this parent that if their child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
