Question
My daughter is 6 years old. She just started saying that she feels pain when drinking water and her throat seems to be more sore. Additionally, she now has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. What clinical symptoms might appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children with tonsillitis experience throat pain, persistent low fever, or sudden high fever, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. The tonsils are usually red and swollen, and in severe cases, complications such as sepsis and acute rheumatism may occur. It is recommended to seek medical treatment for the child as soon as possible.
