Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said her throat was sore. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What are the common clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience self-reported sore throat. If the inflammation is severe, it may also cause ear pain. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This should be taken seriously. In addition to fever, the child may also experience symptoms such as chills and fatigue. Careful observation can reveal that the tonsils are entirely red and swollen. Severe complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition. It is hoped that parents can pay attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
