Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent low-grade fever, which may indicate pediatric tonsillitis. What are the clinical symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children experience a sore throat after tonsillitis, with swallowing being particularly painful. They may also have symptoms such as low or high fever, headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils may become red and swollen, and some children may develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. We advise parents to seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits these symptoms.
