Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, there was a little pain in the throat. It was found that the cough was quite severe, and there was a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: If children have tonsillitis, what clinical symptoms will occur?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis 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. At the same time, children may also develop a fever, which could be a low-grade one or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headaches. Careful observation can reveal that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, complications may occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
