Once a child gets tonsillitis, the first thing they feel is a very sore throat. In cases of inflammation, they may even be unable to swallow food normally. At the same time, the child may also have a fever, or a low-grade fever, or even a high fever of 39-40 degrees Celsius. The child will feel tired and have a headache, and in severe cases, they may also experience chills. At this time, the tonsils are usually congested, not only red but also swollen. In some cases, children may also develop complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. Therefore, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly if they notice their child has tonsillitis.
