Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The tonsils are located in the throat area. When a child has tonsillitis, the main symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever (which may be low-grade or high-grade), accompanied by chills and headaches. The child may also feel generally weak, and the tonsils will appear significantly swollen. This condition can also lead to serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and joint diseases, so it is important to seek medical treatment promptly.
