If a child has tonsillitis, what are the common symptoms?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child's tonsils are inflamed?

Doctor's answer:

Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms. If severe, it can spread to the ears. Some children may also experience vomiting during this stage. The temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Along with fever, chills and headaches may also occur. Most children feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen, and some serious complications may also arise, such as nephritis or sepsis, which directly threaten life. It is clear that pharyngitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
