Question
What symptoms might appear when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
The tonsils are located in the throat, so one of the most prominent symptoms of tonsillitis in children is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, with severe cases potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In addition to fever, symptoms such as chills and headaches may also occur. Most children may feel generally weak, and at this time, the tonsils may become red and swollen. A few children may experience complications such as asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a serious condition that can even threaten a child’s life, and parents should seek medical attention for their children in a timely manner.
