Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Later, it was found that his cough is quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most children with tonsillitis feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies when swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, with severe cases potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Children may also experience headaches, and in severe cases, even widespread pain. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue. It is clearly observable that the tonsils are red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. If the child's condition continues to worsen, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
