Question

What are the common symptoms when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?

Answer

Pediatric tonsillitis is a common disease with distinct symptoms. Patients may cry and fuss constantly due to throat pain, experience severe fever with temperatures reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius, and may also have symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headaches. The tonsils may become red and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to some complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and septicemia. Parents should pay attention to their child’s condition with tonsillitis and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
