Question
What are the clinical symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children often suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and its symptoms are relatively easy to detect. Usually, when affected, children may experience throat pain and have a fever, sometimes even reaching 40 degrees Celsius. They may also experience chills and headaches. Many children will feel weak all over and the tonsils will become significantly swollen. If the condition worsens, serious complications such as sepsis or endocarditis may occur. It is recommended that parents take their children to the doctor for treatment early on to avoid unnecessary harm to the child due to the worsening of the condition.
