In severe cases, the temperature can even reach 40 degrees Celsius. The child not only has a fever but also exhibits chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If attention is not paid in time, it may lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis.
