Question
What are the symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, they may experience throat pain, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by mild coughing and low-grade fever. Most children may have persistent low-grade fever or sudden high fever, accompanied by chills, fatigue, and headaches. The tonsils may become congested and swollen. If not treated promptly, it may lead to some complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, or sepsis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as they notice the child’s condition worsening.
