Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and she also had a slight cough. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may appear if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience a sore throat on their own. If the inflammation worsens, their ears may also become painful. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This needs to be taken seriously. In addition to fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At the same time, due to diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swollen tonsils can be clearly observed. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the above symptoms, you must seek medical treatment promptly.
