Question
What symptoms can occur in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, there is often a significant pain in the throat and ears, severely affecting swallowing. Most children will have a fever, with temperatures reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever, symptoms such as chills, fatigue, and headaches may also occur. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested and swollen, appearing red and inflamed. In severe cases, it may also lead to serious complications such as nephritis or sepsis, so it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly.
