Body temperature varies, with low-grade fever being manageable at home, but high fever requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms may also include headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, red, and swollen. In some cases, complications such as bronchial asthma, sepsis, or nephritis may also occur.
