Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 7 months old. She has just started to feel a bit of pain in her throat, accompanied by a slight cough. Now, she has a persistent high fever. What symptoms might occur in cases of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common pediatric condition. Children with this illness typically experience throat pain and difficulty swallowing, with fever being a common symptom, sometimes reaching as high as 40 degrees Celsius. They may also have chills and fatigue. The tonsils may become congested and swollen, and complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases may occur along with the fever. It is recommended to observe your child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
