Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. The child may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also occur. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents should pay attention to this and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
