Question
What symptoms might a child have with tonsillitis?
Answer
When tonsillitis occurs, most children experience throat pain and difficulty swallowing. Additionally, they usually have a fever, sometimes persistent low-grade fever, which may even reach 40 degrees Celsius. They may also experience headaches and general body aches. The tonsils may appear red and swollen, inflamed. Some children may also have complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, and nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their child to the doctor promptly to avoid further deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm to the child.
