Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children may experience recurrent tonsillitis, and its symptoms are relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience throat pain, and they may also have a persistent low-grade fever or a sudden high fever. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may occur. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested and swollen, and they may further affect the heart and kidneys, leading to diseases such as myocarditis and nephritis. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite severe, even life-threatening, so timely treatment is essential.
