Question

What are the possible symptoms if a child has tonsillitis?

Answer

Most children with tonsillitis will experience severe throat pain, with the pain in the throat becoming more intense. They may also have a degree of fever, sometimes reaching 40°C, along with symptoms such as chills and fatigue. When the tonsils are congested, redness and swelling may be observed. In severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, and rheumatic endocarditis may occur, so it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they discover their child has tonsillitis.
