Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, who has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he also had a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, congested, and red. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition, and it is essential to detect it early and start treatment as soon as possible.
