Question
What are the clinical manifestations if a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases, with symptoms often including throat pain, constant crying, fever (either low-grade or high-grade), headache, general body pain, fatigue, and chills. The tonsils may appear red and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as possible if they notice their child’s condition worsening.
