Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel a severe sore throat. Fever is also one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If the condition continues to progress, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, and others. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once a child shows these symptoms to prevent the occurrence of complications.
