Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water. He found that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, what are the symptoms and manifestations?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and most will develop a fever. In severe cases, the temperature can reach as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by headaches or body aches. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and the condition may lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, or joint disease. Therefore, we advise this parent to seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits the symptoms mentioned above.
