Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What symptoms can occur in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children experience severe throat pain, and they are often accompanied by fever—either persistent low-grade fever or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. They may also have headaches or body aches. At this stage, the tonsils are usually congested, red, and swollen. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis, endocarditis, and others. It is clear that tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition and can even threaten their lives. Parents must take their children to seek treatment promptly.
