Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like she had a low fever that never went away. Could you please tell me: What are the common symptoms that often occur with tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and most will experience a fever. In severe cases, the temperature can rise to 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may not only have a fever but also symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache. Additionally, when the tonsils are swollen, redness and swelling can be observed. Moreover, this condition can lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and arthritis. Therefore, it is advised that parents should take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
