Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed mild coughing. At the same time, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What symptoms indicate tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, congested, and swollen. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious disease, and it is essential to detect and treat it as early as possible.
