Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old and has recently started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and she has a persistent fever that does not subside. Could this be a symptom of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When children develop tonsillitis, they often experience a sore throat, making it difficult to swallow food. They may also have persistent low fever or sudden high fever, headache, body aches, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may become red and swollen, and may lead to other complications. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly.
