What are the clinical symptoms when children have tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

My little girl, she is 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, she has mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical 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. Firstly, most children will feel severe throat pain, and many will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Children may also have headaches, and in severe cases, they may even have pain all over their body. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue. The tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen at this stage. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. As a result, pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition that must be detected and treated as early as possible.
