Question
What common symptoms appear when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. Children with this condition typically exhibit several common symptoms, including sore throat and difficulty swallowing, fever (either low-grade or high-grade), headache, general body aches, and chills. The tonsils may appear red and swollen. In addition, pediatric tonsillitis can lead to more severe complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. Therefore, to prevent the condition from worsening and causing harm to the child, parents should seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible.
