Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that it was accompanied by a slight cough. Moreover, he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain, and they often have a fever, either a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. While feverish, children may also exhibit symptoms such as chills and fatigue. It is clearly observable that the tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. In more severe cases, complications may arise, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
