Question

What are the possible clinical symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

Most children with tonsillitis may experience a sore throat, with the pain intensifying during swallowing. They may also have a persistent low-grade fever or a sudden high fever, along with symptoms such as fatigue, headache, general body aches, and chills. At this time, the child’s tonsils may become red and swollen, often larger than usual. A few children may develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, if any of these symptoms are observed in a child, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent complications.
