Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and I noticed she was coughing more severely. Now, she has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children during childbirth?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they typically exhibit symptoms such as a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Most children also experience a persistent low fever or a sudden high fever at this time, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. Upon close observation, you may notice that the child’s tonsils are red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they suspect their child has tonsillitis.
