Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Also, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain becomes more intense when swallowing. Additionally, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Along with fever, children may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. It is clearly observable that the tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Tonsillitis symptoms can be quite severe and may even be life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
