Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it can spread to the ears. Moreover, most children also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. While fevering, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. It can be observed that the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen at this stage, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which directly threaten life. It is clear that acute tonsillitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
