Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children will experience throat pain after tonsillitis, with the pain intensifying during swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom. In severe cases, the fever may reach 40 degrees Celsius, and the child may experience symptoms such as headache, body aches, and chills. At the same time, due to the congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the tonsils become significantly swollen, and some children may develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious disease that may threaten a child’s life, and parents should take their children to the doctor promptly.
