Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and then it was discovered that his cough is quite severe. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: What are the symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. In cases of fever, many children may also exhibit symptoms such as headache, body aches, and chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. Additionally, a small number of children may develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
