Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is 5 years old. She has just started to have a sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seems to be a bit difficult. Additionally, she’s been running a slight fever. Could you please tell me what symptoms might occur if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common diseases in children, with main symptoms including sore throat, fever, headache, general body ache, fatigue, and chills. The tonsils often become congested and swollen, which may lead to serious complications such as nephritis and sepsis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
