Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well, and she had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition worsens, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
