Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is 9 years old and has recently started to feel a sore throat, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she has a persistent high fever. What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include throat pain, which may spread to the ears, accompanied by fever (either low or high), fatigue, headache, chills, and swollen tonsils. In severe cases, complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases may occur. Therefore, if any of these symptoms are detected, medical treatment should be sought promptly to avoid complications.
