Question
What Are the Clinical Symptoms of Pediatric Tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children now experience recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to notice. Firstly, most children will experience a sore throat, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. The child may also feel fatigue, have a headache, and in severe cases, exhibit chills. At this point, the tonsils are often in a congested state, appearing red and swollen. If the condition persists, it may lead to particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatism. Therefore, it is advisable for parents to take their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
