Question
What are the common symptoms when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. Its common symptoms include sore throat, fever, chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils may become congested and swollen, and in severe cases, may lead to complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis. It is recommended that parents take their children to see a doctor early on to avoid the worsening of the condition and unnecessary harm.
