Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that her cough was also quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that appear when a child has tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is usually a sore throat, and because of this, the child will frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the swollen tonsils can be clearly observed in the child. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already quite serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
