Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed he had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Fever is also one of the common symptoms of pharyngitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. Fever is often accompanied by chills and headaches, among other symptoms. Most children also feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and in more severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. It can be seen that pediatric pharyngitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
