Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, it is quite common for children to suffer from tonsillitis, and the symptoms are quite evident. For instance, children often cry and fuss due to throat pain, struggle to swallow food normally, and may experience a certain degree of fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. These situations should be taken seriously by parents. At the same time, children may also exhibit symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and tremors. At this point, the tonsils are usually red, swollen, and congested. If treatment is delayed, some children may also develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. It is recommended that you observe your child’s condition closely. If the symptoms are severe, please take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
