Question
What are the common symptoms of children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, which becomes more severe during swallowing, accompanied by varying degrees of fever. Infants may have seizures due to high fever, feeling weak and having headaches. In severe cases, chills may occur. When the tonsils are congested, they appear red and swollen. In severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis may occur. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if they notice these symptoms.
