Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Most children will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with the fever, they may also have symptoms such as chills and headaches. Most children will feel extremely weak at this point. The tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also swollen, and may also lead to serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
