Question
What clinical symptoms might appear if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, pediatric tonsillitis is indeed quite common and its symptoms are relatively obvious. Children often cry and fuss because of throat pain, unable to swallow normally. At the same time, they may also have fever, or a low-grade fever, possibly reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also feel fatigue and have headaches. In severe cases, chills may occur. At this time, the tonsils are also in a red, swollen, and congested state. Moreover, such diseases may also trigger more serious complications like sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. You can observe your child’s condition. If it’s quite severe, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
