Question
What are the possible symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, they may experience pain in the throat and ears, which can also affect swallowing. Additionally, they may have a fever, including low-grade or high-grade (39-40 degrees Celsius), and may feel fatigue, headache, body aches, and chills. The tonsils may become red and swollen. If the condition worsens, severe complications such as pericarditis may occur. Tonsillitis is a serious condition that requires timely treatment to avoid possible complications.
