Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 4 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that he was coughing quite severely. Additionally, he now has a high fever that is not subsiding. Please ask: What are the possible symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Once a child suffers from tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is that their throat is very sore. In cases of inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Most children at this time also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever, accompanied by headaches or body aches. At this point, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, and others. Therefore, parents should take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from further deteriorating and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
