Question
What are the common symptoms of tonsillitis in children once it occurs?
Answer
Acute tonsillitis is one of the more common situations, with symptoms including throat pain leading to difficulty swallowing, persistent low or high fever, fatigue, headache, general body aches, and chills. Swollen tonsils are a distinct sign. If not treated promptly, it may lead to serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment as soon as possible if they notice their child’s condition worsening.
