Question
What symptoms may appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children may experience a sore throat, accompanied by ear pain. They may also have a fever, either low-grade or high-grade. High-grade fever can be accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. At the same time, the tonsils may show signs of congestion and swelling. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, and others. Severe tonsillitis symptoms can even be life-threatening, so timely treatment is necessary.
