Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood diseases, with children possibly experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. Severe tonsillitis can lead to high fever and may be accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils are often red, swollen, and inflamed, and may further lead to complications such as myocarditis and nephritis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if these symptoms are present.
