Question
What symptoms may occur if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child contracts tonsillitis, they will first experience a sore throat, which may even make it difficult for them to swallow food normally. Most children will also have a persistent low fever or a sudden high fever at this time. They may feel weak and have headaches, and in severe cases, they may exhibit chills. Upon close observation, you can see that the child’s tonsils are entirely red and swollen. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to complications such as rheumatism, nephritis, and sepsis. Therefore, pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition that must be detected and treated early.
