Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and fever. Could it be pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common childhood illness, characterized by symptoms such as throat pain, persistent low or high fever, headache, general body aches, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may appear red and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications. It is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor in a timely manner to avoid the worsening of the condition.
