Generally ,children with tonsillitis have a sore throat and pain with swallowing. Babies and toddlers may simply refuse to eat or drink because of the throat pain.

Helo , there might be snoring or mouth breathing, accompanied by a dry mouth and mouth odor. Also sleep disturbances sometimes result in bed-wetting.
