Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. We noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he had a low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children experience sore throat on their own. If the inflammation is severe, the ears may also ache. Children usually have a fever, either a low-grade one that doesn't break or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. They may also have a headache or body aches. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. This condition may also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, or joint disease. You can observe your child's condition. If it is already severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
