Question
What are the symptoms that may appear in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, there is a noticeable pain in the throat and ears, which can affect normal swallowing. In addition to varying degrees of fever, the child may experience seizures due to high fever. At the same time, the child may feel weak, have headaches, general body aches, and chills. Moreover, when the tonsils are congested, they may appear red and swollen, and could even lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis. It is advisable for parents to take their child to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the condition and unnecessary harm.
