Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his cough was quite severe. He also had a slight fever and felt tired. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptoms are usually sore throat, and the child may also experience varying degrees of difficulty swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also have chills, fatigue, and headache. It can be seen that the tonsils are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. The child may also have complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It can be seen that children's tonsillitis is a very serious disease and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take the child to seek treatment in a timely manner.
