Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom to appear is usually sore throat, and the child's swallowing may also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At the same time, when the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. If attention is not given in time, it may lead to the occurrence of some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. Therefore, once it is found that the child has the above symptoms, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the occurrence of complications.
