Question
What are the common symptoms when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, with swallowing being particularly painful. They may also have varying degrees of fever, and infants might even have convulsions due to high fever. Children may feel fatigue and headaches. In severe cases, chills may occur, and the tonsils may appear red and swollen. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. It is very serious for a child to have tonsillitis, and parents are advised to take this issue seriously and seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible.
