Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, most may feel a sore throat and have varying degrees of fever. Infants may have convulsions due to high fever and may also exhibit symptoms such as headache and body aches. In addition, the congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa may lead to enlargement of the tonsils and may also result in serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which directly threaten life. It is advisable for parents to take their child to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration and unnecessary harm.
