Question
Dear Baby, 4 years old, has a sore throat with a slight cough, and the fever does not subside. Could it be symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common childhood illness, characterized by symptoms such as sore throat, fever, headache, and body aches. The tonsils may become congested and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis. Please seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
