Many children now experience recurrent tonsillitis, and the symptoms of tonsillitis are actually quite easy to identify. First, most children will feel severe throat pain, and at the same time, they may also develop a fever. This could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but may also experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. Additionally, when the tonsils are congested, they can appear red and swollen. This condition may also lead to more serious complications such as sepsis, rheumatic fever, and joint disease. You can observe your child's condition. If it has become severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment.
