Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: What are the symptoms that may appear when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. Moreover, with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. While fevering, the child may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this point, the tonsils should become 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. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
