Question
What symptoms may a child experience if they have tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, common symptoms include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and may be accompanied by fever up to 40 degrees Celsius, headache, body ache, and shivering. The tonsils may become red and swollen. In severe cases, it can lead to serious complications such as sepsis and acute rheumatic fever, so early treatment is essential to avoid harming the child’s life.
