Question
What clinical manifestations may a child experience once they have tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, they may first feel a sore throat, difficulty in eating or swallowing, and be accompanied by persistent low fever or sudden high fever. They may also experience headaches, general body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils may appear red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop severe complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. It is recommended that parents seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits the aforementioned symptoms.
