Question
What symptoms might a child experience if they frequently have tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is one of the common pediatric diseases. When children contract this illness, they will first exhibit symptoms such as throat pain and difficulty swallowing. They may also experience a fever, which could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. They might also have headaches, general body aches, and feelings of fatigue or chills. At this time, the child’s tonsils are usually red and swollen, and they may appear to be larger than normal. There may also be serious complications, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten their life. If the child’s condition continues to worsen, it is advisable for parents not to delay and to take their child for treatment as soon as possible.
