Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, notices that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and is accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the primary symptoms, and in severe cases, it can spread to the ears. The child may also experience a certain degree of fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius if severe. This must be taken seriously. Along with high fever, symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache may also occur. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. Severe complications may also arise, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are noticed in a child to prevent the occurrence of complications.
