Question
What are the clinical manifestations of children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, pediatric tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are quite apparent. Children often cry and are restless due to throat pain and an inability to swallow normally. Most children will have a fever, with temperatures sometimes reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. In the case of fever, many children may also experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, becoming congested and swollen. In severe cases, children may also develop complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. It is recommended to observe the child’s condition, and if it is relatively severe, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
