Question
What symptoms may appear when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, they may experience pain in the throat and ears, affecting their swallowing ability. The child may have varying degrees of fever, and in some cases, seizures due to high fever. Headaches, body aches, chills, and fatigue are also common symptoms. At this time, the child’s tonsils may appear red and swollen, and other complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases may also occur. It is advisable for parents to take their child to a doctor promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.
