Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. It is clearly observable that the child's tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. You can observe the child's condition. If it is already serious, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
