Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, there was a slight sore throat, and it was found that the cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat. This may then potentially affect the ears, even leading to otitis media. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. In addition to fever, the child may also exhibit chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this stage, the tonsils are typically congested, appearing red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. You can observe the child's condition. If it has become severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
