Question
What symptoms may appear when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Currently, pediatric tonsillitis is a quite common disease with distinct symptoms. For example, a child may cry continuously due to throat pain, and may also have a slight fever, even up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child may experience symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headache, while the tonsils may show signs of congestion and swelling. If not treated promptly, tonsillitis may further affect the heart and kidneys, leading to serious consequences such as pericarditis and nephritis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that must be detected and treated early.
