Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just started, said she has a sore throat, found that coughing is quite severe, accompanied by low fever, please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis tonsillaris is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms. If severe, it may spread to the ears. Additionally, children often have a fever—either persistent low-grade fever or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but also exhibits chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, which is usually caused by inflammation and congestion. Moreover, a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is evident that pediatric pharyngitis tonsillaris is a very serious condition and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children for timely treatment.
