Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, they may experience sore throat and ear pain, affecting their normal swallowing. Some children may have a low-grade fever, which requires observation; if they develop a high fever, medical attention is necessary. Children may feel fatigue and headaches, and in severe cases, they may experience chills. The tonsils may become red and swollen due to congestion. If the condition worsens, it is advisable for parents to take their child to the doctor early on.
