Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever has not subsided. Please ask: What are the symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat, so if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is a sore throat and 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 may also experience a headache, and in severe cases, even aches all over the body. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, red, and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents should pay attention to this. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
