Patient's question:
But recently I found that his tonsils are swollen, and he breathes through his mouth both day and night. I have also asked nearby doctors, but they all say it needs to be removed because it can lead to oxygen deprivation. However, I know that after removal, his immunity will definitely be weaker than it is now.Treatment history and effectiveness: I have asked nearby doctors, but they all say it needs to be removed because it can lead to oxygen deprivation. However, I know that after removal, his immunity will definitely be weaker than it is now.
What kind of help do I need: Please ask if there are any methods other than removal, or if there are no other options except removal. I am very troubled and hope to get a response.
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital for a follow-up visit to the otolaryngology department for improvement and careful examination. Since the child is too young, surgery is not advisable. Enlarged tonsils can interfere with the child's breathing and hinder brain development. If the child frequently suffers from this condition, it is best to wait until the child is older to have the tonsils removed. The above advice is for the question "Can children with enlarged tonsils avoid surgery?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
