Question
What are the clinical symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children experience recurrent tonsillitis, which is relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience throat pain, along with fever, and some infants may even have seizures due to high fever. Fever is often accompanied by chills and headaches, and many children feel generally weak. Upon close observation, you can notice that the child’s tonsils are red and swollen. Sometimes, severe complications may also arise, such as nephritis or sepsis, which could directly threaten life. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits the aforementioned symptoms.
