Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in young 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 at the same time, they may also develop a fever. This could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this time, the tonsils of the child will be red and swollen, and they may also develop serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten their lives. It is very serious for children to suffer from tonsillitis, and it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this and take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
