Question
What are the possible symptoms once a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children may repeatedly experience symptoms of tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are relatively easy to detect. The child may experience throat pain, accompanied by fever, including low-grade fever or high fever up to 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also exhibit symptoms such as shivering, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils may become congested and swollen. If the condition worsens, severe complications may occur, even sepsis or endocarditis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as they discover that their child has tonsillitis.
