Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: What are the clinical symptoms that may occur when a child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, the first symptom that usually appears is a sore throat, and the child's swallowing will also be accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty. Most children will also experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever at this time. While fevering, the child may also have symptoms such as chills and fatigue. It can be seen that the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, it may lead to the occurrence of some complications, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, etc. The symptoms of tonsillitis are quite serious and can even affect life, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
