Question
My son is 7 years old and has started to feel a sore throat, severe cough, and lack of energy with a fever. What clinical symptoms might appear with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include sore throat, which may spread to the ear, fever, which can be low or high, accompanied by chills, weakness, and headache. The tonsils may appear red and swollen, and can lead to other complications. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if the child’s condition worsens.
