Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children now experience recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, and the symptoms are relatively easy to detect. Most children will feel a sore throat, accompanied by fever, with body temperatures reaching up to 39-40 degrees Celsius. They may also experience headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. The child’s tonsils may become red and swollen due to congestion. In severe cases, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis and endocarditis. Pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that must be detected and treated as early as possible.
