Question
What are the common symptoms in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When children have tonsillitis, most will experience a sore throat, often accompanied by ear pain. At this time, the child may have a fever, including low-grade or high-grade (39-40 degrees Celsius). Along with the fever, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may also occur. At this point, the tonsils may appear red and swollen, with congestion. If the condition worsens, severe complications may arise, including sepsis and endocarditis. Therefore, tonsillitis in children is a serious disease that should be discovered and treated as soon as possible.
