Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils are red and swollen, and in more severe cases, complications may arise, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious condition and may even threaten the child's life. Parents must take their children to seek treatment in a timely manner.
