Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slightly feverish temperature and no energy. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also follow suit and cause pain. Most children will develop a fever, and in severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, children may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, and they are usually larger than normal. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and others. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
