Question
What symptoms may occur if a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, they may experience pain in the throat and ears, affecting their normal swallowing function. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases, along with headaches or body aches. At this time, the tonsils may appear red and swollen, and if the condition persists, it may lead to serious complications such as sepsis, acute rheumatic fever, and others. It is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm.
