Question
What symptoms might a child experience if their tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Once tonsillitis occurs, most children will experience a sore throat, causing pain, and may have a low or high fever. They may also suffer from headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the child’s tonsils will appear red and swollen, often larger than usual, and may also develop other complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin diseases, making early treatment very important.
