What are the symptoms and manifestations when children have tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It turns out her cough is also quite severe, and she's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?

Doctor's answer:

Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but also exhibits symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache. Careful observation reveals that the child's tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If attention is not promptly given, complications may occur, 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.
