Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 5 years old and has been experiencing sore throat and difficulty swallowing recently, accompanied by persistent high fever. Could it be pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The tonsils are located in the throat area. Common symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, persistent fever, headache, general body aches, fatigue, and chills. The tonsils may become red and swollen due to inflammation and possible congestion. If the condition worsens, more severe complications may develop. It is recommended to monitor the condition, and if it is severe, it is advisable to seek medical treatment promptly.
