Acute tonsillitis is one of the more prevalent pediatric diseases in recent two years. First, sore throat is one of the main symptoms, and if severe, it may spread to the ears. Additionally, children often have fever, ranging from low-grade fever that persists to high fever reaching 40 degrees Celsius. During fever, children may also experience chills, fatigue, and other symptoms. It can be observed that the tonsils are red and swollen at this time, which is mostly due to inflammation and congestion. Children may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, and skin disorders. Therefore, it is advised that parents should take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and causing unnecessary harm to the child.
