Question
What are the common clinical symptoms if a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common pediatric disease. When a child has this condition, they may experience symptoms such as throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. They may also experience headaches or general body pain. At this time, the tonsils may become inflamed and become congested, red, and swollen. In severe cases, children may develop complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to see a doctor early to avoid the deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child.
