Question
What are the symptoms that may appear once a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever (either low-grade or high-grade), chills, fatigue, and headache. The tonsils may become congested and swollen, and if not treated promptly, they may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, or sepsis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention early if the child’s condition worsens.
