Question

My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. Could it be pediatric tonsillitis? What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

Pediatric tonsillitis is a common condition, characterized by symptoms such as a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, persistent crying, and low-grade fever. Some children may also experience symptoms like fever, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may become red and swollen due to congestion and can lead to other complications. Timely treatment is crucial to avoid severe consequences.
