Question
What common symptoms may occur when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, there may be a noticeable pain in the throat and ears, affecting normal swallowing. Most children at this time may experience persistent low fever or a sudden high fever, accompanied by headaches or general body aches. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested and appear red and swollen. Children may also experience some complications, such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is recommended that parents take their children to the doctor for early treatment to avoid the deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child.
