Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, started experiencing a sore throat when she began talking. She also found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been running a low fever all along. I would like to ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to notice. First, most children will feel a sore throat, and fever is also one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis. In severe cases, the temperature can even rise to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. Upon careful observation, it can be seen that the child's tonsils are completely red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
