Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt, and then we noticed she had severe coughing. Additionally, she had a low fever. Could you please tell me: What are the clinical symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Headache or body pain may also occur. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen. If the condition continues to develop, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, etc. It is clear that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their child to seek treatment in a timely manner.
