What discomfort symptoms may appear when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, there is a noticeable pain in the throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. Fever is one of the common symptoms of tonsillitis, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severity. The fever may be accompanied by chills and headaches. Most children will feel generally weak, with the tonsils becoming red and swollen due to congestion. A few children may experience complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, if any of the above symptoms are observed in a child, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent complications.
