Most children will have a fever, with severe cases reaching temperatures as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, symptoms such as headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills may also appear. The tonsils should become inflamed, congested, and swollen at this time. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly once they notice their child has tonsillitis.
