Question
What are the clinical symptoms of a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children frequently experience recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, with its symptoms being easily noticeable. They typically experience throat pain, accompanied by a persistent low fever or a sudden high fever, and may also have headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. Upon examination, the tonsils may appear visibly swollen and could lead to severe complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint diseases. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that requires early detection and treatment.
