Question
What symptoms appear when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, most will experience a sore throat, and if the inflammation is severe, the ears may also hurt. Along with the sore throat, some children may also have a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even reach 40 degrees Celsius. They may also experience headaches, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and this type of disease may trigger more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. You should observe your child’s condition; if it’s severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
