Acute tonsillitis is a common pediatric condition, and one of its common symptoms is sore throat. Many children may cry incessantly due to sore throat. The child may also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. It should be taken seriously, and it may also be accompanied by headache or body pain. Additionally, due to diffuse congestion of the pharyngeal mucosa, the tonsils can be noticeably swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents do not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
