Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies when swallowing. They often have a fever, either low-grade or high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, they may experience fatigue, headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen, and may lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
