Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, with more severe coughing, and he’s had a slight fever. What symptoms might a child with tonsillitis exhibit?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood diseases, characterized primarily by symptoms such as sore throat, coughing, and fever (either low or high-grade), accompanied by chills and fatigue. The tonsils may become congested and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to serious complications. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment as soon as possible if the child’s condition worsens.
