Question
What are the possible clinical symptoms once a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include sore throat, which may spread to the ears, accompanied by fever (either low or high), and in cases of high fever, may be accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils become red and swollen due to congestion, and if not treated promptly, may lead to some complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and septicemia. It is recommended to observe the child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
