Question
What are the clinical manifestations of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children frequently suffer from tonsillitis, and its symptoms are relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience throat pain, which may be accompanied by fever, with varying degrees of severity. In addition, they may also have headaches or general body aches. The infected tonsils become inflamed and congested, which may lead to serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint diseases. It is recommended that parents pay close attention to their child’s condition with tonsillitis and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
