Question
What symptoms might a child with tonsillitis exhibit?
Answer
Currently, tonsillitis in children is relatively common, with distinct symptoms. For example, a child may cry incessantly due to throat pain, have difficulty swallowing, and may also develop a fever, ranging from mild to as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may feel tired and have a headache. In severe cases, chills may occur. At this point, the tonsils may appear red and swollen, and the child may experience complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention as soon as possible if the child’s condition worsens.
