Question
What symptoms may appear once a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience a sore throat, with the pain intensifying during swallowing. They may also have a fever, including low-grade or high-grade fever (39-40 degrees Celsius), headache, general body aches, chills, and fatigue. The tonsils may become red and swollen, usually due to inflammation. Children may also develop complications such as septicemia, arthritis, and skin diseases. Therefore, if any of these symptoms are observed, medical attention should be sought promptly to avoid the occurrence of complications.
