Question
What symptoms may appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child’s tonsils become inflamed, they may experience pain in the throat and ears, affecting swallowing; most children will have a persistent low-grade fever or a sudden high fever, accompanied by chills and fatigue. The tonsils will become red and swollen, often larger than usual. Delayed treatment may lead to serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis, so it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly if these symptoms are present.
