Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he’s been a bit feverish. What are the clinical manifestations of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood diseases, characterized by symptoms such as sore throat, crying, fever (which can reach 39-40 degrees Celsius), headache, general body aches, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may become congested, red, and swollen. In severe cases, complications may arise. Parents should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
