Question
What symptoms can occur if a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Many children now experience recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to detect. Firstly, most children will feel a sore throat, and at the same time, they may also have a fever, possibly a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child may also experience fatigue, headache, and general body pain, as well as chills. In addition, under the condition of tonsillar congestion, there may be noticeable redness and swelling. If the condition worsens, more severe complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. The symptoms of tonsillitis can be quite serious, even life-threatening, so it is essential to seek timely treatment.
