Question
What are the clinical symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include throat pain, which may spread to the ears, fever (either low or high), headache, general body pain, fatigue, chills, and others. At this time, the child’s tonsils may become red and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to some complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment for their children if they exhibit the aforementioned symptoms.
