Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms that may occur if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Many children now suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will experience severe throat pain, accompanied by a fever. In severe cases, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees Celsius, which should be taken seriously. Additionally, children may feel tired, have headaches, and in more severe cases, chills. At this stage, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or 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.
