Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and then it was discovered that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis in young children is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Additionally, children usually have a fever, which may be low-grade or high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also occur. The tonsils of the child are red and swollen at this time, and they are often enlarged. Moreover, this type of illness can also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. It is evident that tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment promptly.
