The tonsils are located in the throat. Therefore, if a child develops tonsillitis, one of the most obvious symptoms is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. The child may also have a fever, which could be a low-grade fever or a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. Along with the fever, the child may experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen, and the inflammation may not only affect the tonsils but also progress to involve the heart and kidneys, potentially causing endocarditis and nephritis. Tonsillitis in children is a very serious condition, and parents should pay close attention to it. It is important to take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
