Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe, and he had had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations of tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, 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. Moreover, most children may also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. Children may also have headaches, and in severe cases, they may even have pain all over their body. At the same time, they may also have chills, fatigue, and it is clearly observable that the tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. Severe complications may also occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. It is very serious for children to get tonsillitis. We hope parents can pay attention to this and take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
