Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. It was also discovered that her cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may appear when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and many will also have persistent low fever or sudden high fever. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the child's tonsils are also red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
