Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, I noticed that he has a sore throat when speaking, and it seems his coughing is more severe. He also has a low-grade fever. What symptoms might appear if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common condition, primarily characterized by symptoms such as sore throat, fever, headache, general body ache, chills, and fatigue. Kidney inflammation and endocarditis are possible severe complications, and treatment should be sought early to prevent further deterioration.
