Patient's question:

When a child's tonsils become inflamed, he experiences significant pain in his throat and ears, which affects normal swallowing. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, possibly a low-grade one, or even high fever with a temperature of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Accompanying the high fever are chills, fatigue, and headache. At this stage, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested, and severe complications may occur, such as nephritis or sepsis, which can directly threaten life. It is very serious if a child gets tonsillitis, and parents are advised to pay attention to this and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
