Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How can I solve the problem of swollen tonsils and glands in the child?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital's otolaryngology department for further examination to determine if the tonsils or adenoids are enlarged. Medication is generally ineffective, and surgery is required for removal. The surgery for a child's tonsils and adenoids usually requires general anesthesia. Hospitals at the county level generally have the capability to perform the surgery. The tonsil and adenoid surgery is usually performed simultaneously. Recovery typically takes about 2 weeks after the surgery. General anesthesia does not pose any issues, so there is no need to worry.
