Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It turned out that his cough was also quite severe, and he had been running a low fever. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have seizures due to high fever. Children may also have headaches, and in severe cases, they may experience pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also swollen. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. 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.
