Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and she had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Additionally, the child usually has a fever, either a low-grade one that doesn't break or a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils of the child will be red and swollen at this time, and they are often enlarged. Moreover, this condition can also lead to more serious complications, such as sepsis, rheumatism, and joint disease. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
