Question
What are the common symptoms that appear when infants and toddlers get tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases. Common symptoms in children with tonsillitis include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, and some may experience high fever, even up to 40 degrees. They may also have symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. The tonsils become red and swollen due to inflammation. In severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis may occur. Parents should take this disease seriously and seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible.
