Children may cry and fuss due to throat pain, often accompanied by fever, which can be low-grade or high-grade reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, children may experience symptoms such as headache, body ache, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils may become red and swollen. If the condition worsens, it may lead to serious complications such as sepsis and acute rheumatic fever.
