Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry incessantly due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Children may also experience varying degrees of fever, and young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. Along with fever, they may also have chills and headaches. Most children also feel weak all over. At this time, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen, and a small number of children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
