Question
What are the common clinical manifestations in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever (including low-grade or high-grade fever), headache, general body ache, and chills. Additionally, the tonsils may become congested and appear red and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, or sepsis. Therefore, if these symptoms are observed, medical attention should be sought immediately.
