Abstract

Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the palatine tonsils that are part of the Waldeyer ring. Inflammation of the tonsils can be caused by bacteria or viruses, one of the most common causes of tonsilitis is group A Streptococus beta hemolytic (GABHS) bacteria, 30% of child tonsillitis and 10% of adult cases and is also a cause of strep throat. Predisposing factors of chronic tonsillitis are the chronic stimuli of cigarettes, certain foods, poor oral hygiene, weather effects, physical fatigue and inadequate acute tonsillitis treatment. Repeated fever conditions have a serious impact on children with a history of febrile seizures. Seizures that occur when the fever is easy to meet in children, therefore the cause of recurrent fever should be immediately in the management. A febrile seizure is a seizure upset occurring in the rise of the body (rectal temperature above 38°C) caused by an extracranium process. Febrile seizures usually occur in 2-4% of children 6 months to 5 years. Complications of febrile seizures that are not handled quickly and precisely can cause permanent disruption such as epilepsy and mental retardation.
