Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a slightly feverish and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat. This can then affect normal swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. During a fever, many children may also experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. It can be observed that the child's tonsils are red and swollen at this time, which is usually due to inflammation and congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and parents are advised to take it seriously and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
