Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Also, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Fever is also one of the common symptoms of pharyngitis, and in severe cases, it may reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but also experiences chills, fatigue, and headache. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis may also occur. It is evident that pharyngitis is a very serious disease and must be detected and treated as early as possible.
