Question
What symptoms does a child’s tonsillitis present?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent years. The main symptoms include throat pain, which may be accompanied by ear discomfort, fever, sometimes persistent low fever or high fever up to 40 degrees Celsius, and may be accompanied by chills and headaches. Many children feel weak throughout their body at this time. The tonsils may appear red and swollen, congested, and may also trigger severe complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which pose a direct threat to life. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be severe, even life-threatening, and therefore require timely treatment.
