The child may also have varying degrees of fever, with young children potentially experiencing convulsions due to high fever. Headache may also be present, and in severe cases, the child may experience pain throughout the body, accompanied by chills and fatigue. At this stage, the tonsils are also red, swollen, and congested. If attention is not paid in a timely manner, complications may occur, such as rheumatic fever, nephritis, and sepsis, among others. Therefore, once the above symptoms are observed in a child, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the occurrence of complications.
