Question
What are the common clinical manifestations of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, with the pain being more intense during swallowing. Some children may have a fever, with low-grade fever being observable and high-grade fever requiring medical attention. The fever may be accompanied by symptoms such as chills and headaches. Children may feel generally weak, and the tonsils may appear red and swollen. This condition can lead to severe complications, so it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible if the condition is severe.
