Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had severe coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child's tonsils become inflamed, they will experience significant pain in their throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. The child may also have a fever, ranging from low-grade to high-grade (up to 40 degrees Celsius), accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and body aches, as well as chills. Additionally, when the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling can be observed. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. You can observe the child's condition, and if it appears severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
