Question
What are the common symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, tonsillitis in children is a relatively common condition. The common symptoms include throat pain, which may cause the child to cry and be restless. They may also experience a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. During the fever, many children may also have symptoms such as headache, body aches, and chills. The tonsils often become red and swollen due to inflammation. A few children may develop complications such as asthma, sepsis, and nephritis, so it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they notice signs of tonsillitis in their child.
