Question
What are the common symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child experiences tonsillitis, they will initially feel throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. It is usually accompanied by fever, which can range from low-grade to high-grade, reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child may feel fatigue, headache, body aches, and even chills. Additionally, the tonsils may become congested and swollen, and sometimes severe complications such as nephritis or sepsis may occur, posing a direct threat to the child’s life. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their child’s condition of tonsillitis and seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible.
