Question
What are the common symptoms of children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, they will first experience throat pain and difficulty swallowing. Some children may also have a fever, ranging from persistent low-grade fever to as high as 40 degrees Celsius. The child may exhibit symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the child’s tonsils will become red and swollen, usually larger than normal. If the condition progresses, it may lead to serious complications such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Parents should pay attention to their child’s tonsillitis and seek medical treatment promptly.
