Question
What are the clinical manifestations when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis may experience severe throat pain, especially when swallowing, and some may have low-grade fever. If the fever is high, immediate medical attention is required. During fever, children may also have symptoms such as headache, body aches, and chills. The tonsils will appear red and swollen, and in rare cases, some children may develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that requires early detection and timely treatment.
