Patient's question:
My child has been having high fever and dry vomiting recently, and I suspect it might be pediatric nephritis. What are the early symptoms of pediatric nephritis?Doctor's answer:
Early childhood nephritis is also known as acute nephritis in children. Most cases are caused by streptococcal infections leading to acute glomerulonephritis. It is often preceded by an upper respiratory infection, and most children exhibit tonsillitis in the early stages. Therefore, it is crucial to promptly and thoroughly address tonsillitis in children to prevent the development of glomerulonephritis. Sometimes, when children develop boils on their skin, parents should pay attention to prevent bacterial infections from causing childhood nephritis. This is an immune system disease that requires early treatment.
