Question
What symptoms may appear when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, the throat and ears may feel painful, affecting normal swallowing. Most children in this situation may experience a persistent low fever or a sudden high fever, along with fatigue and headaches. In severe cases, chills may occur, and the tonsils may become red and swollen, usually due to inflammation-induced congestion. Sometimes, severe complications such as nephritis or sepsis may also occur, which could pose a direct threat to life. It is advisable to monitor the child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
