Question
My daughter is currently 6 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she’s been running a low-grade fever. What symptoms might appear in cases of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common pediatric disease. Children with this condition often experience sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Some children may also have a fever, either low-grade or high-grade. They might also exhibit symptoms such as chills and fatigue. At this time, the child’s tonsils are typically red and swollen, and may be larger than normal. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment early to avoid the worsening of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child.
