Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis, what are the clinical symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to detect. First, most children will feel a sore throat, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Additionally, children may feel fatigued, have headaches, and in severe cases, may experience chills. At this stage, the tonsils are often congested, red, and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is advised that parents take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from further deteriorating and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
