Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously. Along with the fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils will be red and swollen. In more severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. 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.
