Patient's question:

When a child has tonsillitis, they will first feel a sore throat, which will then affect normal swallowing. Along with the sore throat, some children may also develop a fever, which could be a persistent low-grade fever or even a high fever of up to 40 degrees Celsius. In cases of fever, many children may also experience headaches, body aches, and chills. At this time, the tonsils are also red and swollen. The child may also develop complications such as sepsis, arthritis, or skin disorders. Therefore, it is recommended to this parent that if your child indeed has the symptoms mentioned above, it is essential to seek medical treatment promptly.
