Patient's question:
Intermittent coughing, occasional a few sounds during the day, no coughing at night, eye discharge, constipation. The doctor diagnosed red throat and tonsil grade 1.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taken herbal medicine to clear heat.
What kind of help do you want: Is it normal for a 5-year-old child to have tonsil grade 1? What does this mean? The child is no longer coughing, but the tonsil is still grade 1, and there are no other symptoms.
Doctor's answer:
The tonsils were once not considered large, and they were once beyond the crypts. The second time, they were beyond the crypts but did not cross the midline, and the third time they passed the center. The tonsils are lymphoid autoimmune organs. When inflamed, they shrink, and in most cases, they will return to normal. A small portion will not shrink even after recovery. Generally, if it is not severe at first, once the child recovers, there is no need to worry about it. If it is large, the child may be prone to respiratory infections. There is no need to worry about it; pay attention to the child's daily care, prevent repeated colds from catching colds, and everything will be fine. After puberty, the tonsils will naturally shrink and expand.
