Question
What are the common manifestations of tonsillitis in children?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever (either low-grade or high-grade), headache, and general body pain. The tonsils may appear red and swollen, and may also lead to severe complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. It is advisable for parents to seek medical treatment promptly if their child exhibits any of these symptoms.
