When a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a very sore throat. And with inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. While experiencing throat pain, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even high fever up to 40 degrees Celsius. At the same time, they may also have a headache or body aches. At this stage, the tonsils are usually swollen and red. If the condition worsens, it may lead to severe complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they notice their child has tonsillitis.
