Question
My son is 7 years old. He recently started saying that his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He also has a bit of a fever and seems lackluster. What clinical symptoms might appear if a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, they may experience symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, chills, fatigue, and headaches. The tonsils may be red and swollen, and in severe cases, it may lead to complications such as sepsis or acute rheumatism. Early detection and timely treatment are very important.
