Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy, and he has recently started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. What are the clinical symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children may experience recurrent tonsillitis, with relatively easy-to-detect symptoms. Most children will experience a sore throat, accompanied by persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever. Children may also exhibit symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headache, and the tonsils may appear red and swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin diseases. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits the aforementioned symptoms.
