Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, has just started to complain that his throat hurts when drinking water. He also has a slight cough and seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What symptoms may appear when a child has tonsillitis during childbirth?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis has been one of the more common pediatric diseases in the past two years. The main symptom is sore throat, which can even spread to the ears in severe cases. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, with temperatures sometimes reaching 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Children may also experience fatigue, headaches, and general body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen and inflamed. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis and endocarditis. You should observe your child’s condition. If it is quite serious, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
