Additionally, children may feel fatigued, have headaches, and in severe cases, may exhibit chills. At this stage, the tonsils are often swollen and congested, red and very swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. You can observe your child's condition.
