Tonsillitis and fever in children

Whether adults or children, when they have a cold or fever, it is very easy to cause a situation that tonsillitis occurs! However, since adults have no contraindications to some drugs, it is relatively simple to treat them. But it is different for children, because many drugs are not suitable for children.

When examining the child's throat, you may also find pus on the tonsils - this is the most powerful diagnostic basis to distinguish it from other colds.

Some children often have repeated attacks of acute tonsillitis, 4 to 5 times a year, or even once a month.

Because each episode of tonsillitis consumes a lot of energy from the body, it often causes children to have poor physical constitution, thin appearance, and decreased resistance. Excessively enlarged tonsils can also cause breathing, swallowing difficulties, and speech disorders. If accompanied by adenoids hypertrophy, it can cause nasal congestion, snoring, and otitis media. If the abscess around the tonsils is severe and ruptures, it may spread to the neck and chest, and even cause death.
