When a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a severe sore throat. In cases of inflammation, they may even have difficulty swallowing food normally. Fever is also a common symptom of tonsillitis, and in severe cases, it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. The child may also experience headaches, and in more severe cases, even aches all over the body. At the same time, they may have chills, fatigue, and upon close observation, the tonsils will appear swollen and red. If the condition progresses further, more serious complications may arise, such as sepsis or endocarditis. It is clear that pediatric tonsillitis is a very serious illness, and it is essential to detect and treat it as early as possible.
