Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, they often experience throat pain, which may make swallowing difficult. Most children will have a persistent low-grade fever or a sudden high fever, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils will appear red and swollen, with congestion. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, and others. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious disease that can even threaten a child’s life, and parents should take their children to the doctor promptly.
