Question
What are the clinical manifestations if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child experiences tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever, headache, general body ache, chills, and fatigue. Additionally, enlargement of the tonsils and inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa may further lead to complications such as myocarditis and nephritis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention for their child if the condition worsens.
