Question
What Symptoms to Expect in Young Children with Tonsillitis?
Answer
When tonsillitis occurs, most children will experience a sore throat, and if the inflammation spreads, the ears may also hurt. Fever is a common symptom of tonsillitis, with severe cases potentially reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Children may also feel weak, have headaches, body aches, and chills. Upon close observation, you can see that the child’s tonsils are red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis and endocarditis. If the child’s condition continues to worsen, it is recommended that parents do not delay and take their child for treatment as soon as possible.
