Pediatric tonsillitis is a common illness among children, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry and fuss due to sore throat. Most children will develop a fever, with temperatures reaching as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Along with fever, children may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils of the child are also red and swollen, and they are usually enlarged. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once these symptoms are observed in a child to prevent the occurrence of complications.
