Additionally, children may feel fatigued, have headaches, and in severe cases, may experience chills. At this stage, the tonsils are also red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop serious complications such as nephritis or endocarditis. Therefore, we strongly advise parents that if your child exhibits the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
