Question
What clinical symptoms may occur if a child develops tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, acute tonsillitis is indeed quite common. Children may cry and fuss due to a sore throat and difficulty swallowing; they may also experience either persistent low fever or high fever; they may feel weak and have headaches, even chills; their tonsils are usually red and swollen and larger than normal; and they may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly.
