Question
What symptoms will a child have once they develop tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children may experience recurrent episodes of tonsillitis. The symptoms of tonsillitis are relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience a sore throat, and may also have a fever, sometimes a persistent low-grade fever or a high fever as high as 40 degrees Celsius. In addition, symptoms such as headache, general body pain, fatigue, and chills may occur. At this time, the tonsils are usually in a congested state, appearing red and swollen. This disease can also lead to serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint diseases. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite severe and may even threaten life, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
