Question
What symptoms are commonly associated with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When children develop tonsillitis, they may experience sore throat, which can affect their normal swallowing function. They may also have a fever, including low-grade or high-grade fever (up to 39-40 degrees Celsius), accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. The tonsils may become red and swollen, and in severe cases, it may lead to complications such as sepsis and acute rheumatism. It is advisable for parents to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the deterioration of the condition.
