Question
What symptoms might a child show if they have tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent years. The primary symptom is usually throat pain, which may sometimes spread to the ears. Children may experience varying degrees of fever, and infants might even have seizures due to high fever. Additionally, children may feel tired, have headaches, and experience overall body pain, along with chills. At this time, the tonsils are typically congested, red, and swollen. Some children may also develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as they notice their child has tonsillitis.
