Question
What symptoms may appear when a child’s tonsils become inflamed?
Answer
Most children with tonsillitis will experience throat pain, which is more pronounced when swallowing. They may also have varying degrees of fever, and in some cases, high fever can lead to seizures. Children may exhibit symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the child’s tonsils will become red and swollen. If the condition worsens, more severe complications such as sepsis or endocarditis may occur. Therefore, if any of the above symptoms are observed in a child, medical attention should be sought immediately to prevent complications.
