Question
What are the clinical manifestations of infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include throat pain, and sometimes it can also cause ear discomfort. Some children may experience low-grade fever, and the condition should be observed. If there is a high fever, medical attention should be sought promptly. In severe cases, children may have symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headache. At this point, the tonsils are usually ulcerated and swollen, and in more severe cases, they may affect the heart and kidneys, leading to complications such as pericarditis and nephritis. Therefore, if any of the above symptoms are detected, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible to avoid complications.
