Question
What symptoms to look out for when a child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Once a child develops tonsillitis, they will first experience a sore throat, and the inflammation may make it difficult to swallow normally. Most children will have a fever, with temperatures potentially reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, they may feel weak and have headaches, and in severe cases, chills. A close examination will reveal that the child’s tonsils are red and swollen. Moreover, this disease can also lead to more severe complications such as sepsis, rheumatism, and arthritis. Therefore, if your child shows any of these symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical treatment promptly.
