Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur when infants and young children have tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. With inflammation, they may even have difficulty swallowing food normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. The tonsils at this time are red and swollen, and serious complications may occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and parents should pay attention to it. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
