Young children may even have convulsions due to high fever. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body pain, chills, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils should become inflamed, congested, and swollen. In severe cases, complications may occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis.
