Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she had a sore throat, and then found that her cough seemed to be more severe. Additionally, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils are inflamed, they will experience obvious pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Headache is also a common symptom, and in severe cases, the child may experience pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills and fatigue. The tonsils will be red and swollen at this stage, and the child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
