Question
What are the common symptoms when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children will experience a sore throat after tonsillitis, with the pain being more intense during swallowing. Some children may have a low-grade fever, with varying body temperature conditions; low-grade fevers can be observed, while high-grade fevers require medical attention. The child may also experience headaches, even full-body pain, along with chills and fatigue. At this time, the child’s tonsils may appear red and swollen, and they may further develop complications such as myocarditis or nephritis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that needs to be discovered and treated as early as possible.
