Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started. He said his throat hurts. Upon discovery, his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that often appear when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is currently one of the more common pediatric diseases. when children suffer from this disease, they will first show symptoms of sore throat and difficulty swallowing. at the same time, children may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. during the fever, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. at this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, and are usually larger than normal. if the treatment is delayed, some children may also develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. it is very serious for children to suffer from tonsillitis, and parents are hoped to pay attention to this and take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
