Patient's question:
Boy, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough also seemed quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: What are the common clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if a child develops mild tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Additionally, most children will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. The child may feel tired, have a headache, and in severe cases, may even have chills. At this stage, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. You can observe the child's condition. If it appears to be quite severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment.
