If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and as a result, the child will frequently cry because they cannot swallow. At the same time, some children may also have a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the child may feel weak, have a headache, or experience body aches, as well as chills. At this stage, the tonsils are usually swollen and red. If the condition worsens further, more serious complications may occur, such as sepsis or endocarditis. Therefore, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly once the above symptoms appear to avoid complications.
