Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it appears that tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are also quite obvious. For example, children often cry non-stop due to throat pain and difficulty swallowing normally. Moreover, most children also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. The children not only have fever but also show symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headache. At this stage, the tonsils of the child are red and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to some particularly severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child for treatment as soon as possible.
