Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, notices it, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may occur if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are relatively easy to identify. First, most children experience severe throat pain, accompanied by a fever. In severe cases, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees Celsius, which requires attention. They may also have a headache or body pain. At this time, the child's tonsils are red and swollen, and they are often enlarged. If the condition continues to develop, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite severe and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely treatment.
