Clinical Symptoms of Pediatric Tonsillitis

Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, with more severe pain during swallowing, possibly accompanied by coughing. Fever may vary, but persistent high fever requires immediate medical attention. Children may also exhibit symptoms such as headache, body aches, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may become red and swollen, and in severe cases, complications to the heart and kidneys can occur. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly if any of these symptoms are present.
