Question
What symptoms may occur once a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children may suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, with symptoms relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience a sore throat, accompanied by a fever, which may be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also have headaches, even body aches, and may experience chills and fatigue. At this time, the child’s tonsils may become red and swollen, and in severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis may occur. It is recommended to observe the child’s condition and seek medical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible if the situation is severe.
