Question
What are the common symptoms when a child develops pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, with the pain intensifying during swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom. In severe cases, the fever can reach 40 degrees Celsius, and the child may exhibit symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this point, the tonsils may become red and swollen, and there may be serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as possible if the child’s condition continues to worsen.
