Question
What clinical symptoms appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, pediatric tonsillitis is indeed quite common, and its symptoms are relatively apparent. Children often cry and fuss because of throat pain, unable to swallow normally. Along with the sore throat, some children may also experience fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. They may also have headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the child’s tonsils are also red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders, so parents are advised to take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child. To prevent pediatric tonsillitis, parents should pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits and avoiding cross-infection. If a child shows symptoms of tonsillitis, they can go to the hospital for related treatment to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
