Question
What are the symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child indeed has tonsillitis, the initial symptom is usually sore throat, making it difficult for the child to swallow, which may lead to frequent crying and fussiness. At this time, most children may experience a persistent low fever or a sudden high fever, accompanied by symptoms such as chills and headaches. The child may feel generally weak, with the tonsils visibly swollen. Complications may include sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if they notice the above symptoms in their child.
