Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the initial symptom is usually throat pain, which may make swallowing difficult. Accompanied by a slight fever, in severe cases the body temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius. The child may also feel tired, have a headache, and even experience chills. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested and swollen, and may lead to serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, or arthritis. It is recommended to observe the child’s symptoms, and if the condition is severe, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
