What Symptoms Appear When a Child Suffers from Tonsillitis?

If a child develops tonsillitis, the initial symptoms are often throat pain, accompanied by varying degrees of difficulty swallowing. The child usually also has a fever, either persistent low-grade fever or high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In the case of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this point, the tonsils are often in a congested state, red and swollen, and may also lead to severe complications such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they find their child has tonsillitis.
