Most children with tonsillitis will feel a sore throat, and the pain will be more intense when swallowing. At the same time, children may also have a fever, which could be low-grade or as high as 39-40 degrees Celsius. In addition to fever, children may experience chills, fatigue, and headaches. When the tonsils are swollen and red, it indicates congestion. In severe cases, complications such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis may occur.
