Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then she started coughing more severely, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and they often have a fever, either a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, they may also experience chills and headaches. Most children also feel extremely weak. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
