Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a very sore throat. And with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. While having a fever, the child may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the child's tonsils are red and swollen, and serious complications may also occur, such as kidney inflammation or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. It is very serious for a child to get tonsillitis, and parents should pay attention to this. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
