Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain intensifies during swallowing. Children may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or high-grade (39-40 degrees Celsius). Along with the fever, they may experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. At this time, the tonsils are also swollen and red, usually due to inflammation and congestion. If the condition worsens, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, parents should take their children to see a doctor early for treatment to prevent further deterioration of the condition and avoid unnecessary harm to the child.
