Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old, just started. He says his throat hurts even when drinking water. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: What are the common clinical manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis experience a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The body temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable by observation, while high fever requires immediate medical attention. High fever is often accompanied by chills, headaches, and other symptoms. Most children also feel very weak. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen. Additionally, this condition can lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and joint disease. You can monitor your child's condition, but if it becomes severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
