Question
What are the possible symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When children have tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever, headache, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils may appear red and swollen, mainly due to congestion caused by inflammation. Such diseases may also lead to severe complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits the above symptoms.
