Question
What are the clinical symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When children experience tonsillitis, most will feel throat pain, accompanied by possible ear pain. Some children may exhibit persistent low-grade or high fever (up to 40 degrees Celsius), headaches, general body aches, chills, and fatigue. Additionally, the tonsils may appear congested and swollen, and may even lead to severe complications such as nephritis or sepsis. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications.
