Question
What clinical symptoms appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis has been one of the more common pediatric diseases in the past two years. The primary symptom is usually throat pain, which can sometimes extend to the ears. Children may also experience a certain degree of fever, which can be severe enough to reach 40 degrees Celsius. It is important to take note of this and children may feel fatigued and have headaches. In severe cases, chills may also occur. At this time, the child’s tonsils are also red and swollen, often larger than usual. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. It is very serious when a child gets tonsillitis, and parents should pay close attention to this and take their child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
