Question
What are the common symptoms when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child experiences tonsillitis, they will first feel throat pain, making eating and swallowing difficult. They may also have a low fever or a high fever (up to 39-40 degrees Celsius), accompanied by chills and headaches. The child may feel generally weak. The tonsils may appear congested and swollen. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as nephritis and sepsis, requiring early medical treatment.
