Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she had a little fever and wasn't feeling well. I'm asking: What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is one of the more common pediatric diseases in recent two years. First of all, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if it is serious, it may spread to the ears. The child may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade, such as 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils should become inflamed, congested, and swollen at this time. If the treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis, endocarditis, etc. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should take their children to a doctor for early medical treatment to prevent the condition from worsening further and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
