If the child actually has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and the child will frequently cry because they are unable to swallow. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can even reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. In addition to fever, many children may experience headaches or body aches, as well as chills. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, red, and swollen. If the condition worsens, it may lead to some particularly serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is recommended that this parent, if their child indeed has the above symptoms, must seek medical treatment promptly.
