Question
What are the possible symptoms in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children experience a sore throat after tonsillitis, with the pain being more intense during swallowing. Additionally, many children may continue to have a fever during this time, even sudden high fevers. They may also experience headaches or general body aches. Upon close observation, the tonsils may appear red and swollen. In severe cases, children may develop complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their children to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child.
