Question
What clinical symptoms may appear if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children will experience a sore throat, and if the inflammation is severe, the ears may also ache. The child may have a certain degree of fever, with the body temperature potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. During the fever, the child may also exhibit symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At the same time, due to the diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the enlargement of the tonsils can be clearly observed. Additionally, there may be serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which directly threaten life. Therefore, if your child indeed shows these symptoms, please seek medical treatment promptly.
