Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing and has been slightly feverish. Please ask: What symptoms will occur if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. Tonsillitis symptoms can be quite severe and may even be life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
