Acute tonsillitis has been one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in the past two years. First and foremost, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Additionally, most children may experience persistent low fever or sudden high fever during this time, along with symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, and chills. At this stage, the tonsils are typically congested, appearing not only red but also swollen. If attention is not promptly given, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, it is advised that parents should take their children to seek medical treatment as early as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
