Question
What are the common symptoms that may appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children frequently experience tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are relatively easy to detect. Most children will experience severe throat pain, accompanied by slight fever, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. Children may also feel tired, have headaches, and even shiver. At this time, the child’s tonsils will become red and swollen, usually larger than usual. If not treated promptly, tonsillitis may further affect the heart and kidneys, leading to complications such as myocarditis and nephritis. Therefore, if any of the above symptoms are observed in children, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly to prevent complications.
