Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in young 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. Most children will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. The child may also have a headache, and in severe cases, they may have pain all over their body. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue. When the tonsils are congested, there may be redness and swelling. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. It is very serious if the child gets tonsillitis, and parents should pay attention to this. Take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
