Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She initially experienced throat pain when speaking or drinking water, along with difficulty swallowing and low-grade fever. What are the possible clinical manifestations of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases in recent years, with main symptoms including throat pain, possible ear problems, accompanied by persistent low or high fever, chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils become congested and swollen. If the condition continues to worsen, it may lead to severe complications such as anemia and acute rheumatic fever. Early medical treatment is crucial for this condition, and parents should pay close attention to the development of pediatric tonsillitis.
