Question
What are the possible clinical symptoms once a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child experiences tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever (either low or high-grade), chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils may appear red and swollen, inflamed. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
