Patient's question:
A 4.5-year-old child was carefully examined and found to have moderate tonsillar hypertrophy in the first half of the year. A month ago, they had a cough that lasted only three days and resolved completely. However, after recovery, they often make a humming sound and perform dry swallowing actions. In recent days, the humming has stopped, but there is a rough, whistling sound in their throat, as if something is stuck there. This sensation is particularly noticeable during dinner and sleep. In the past few nights, they have also started snoring loudly. The doctor mentioned that the discomfort could be triggered by the enlarged tonsils, though there is no coughing. The child is usually lively and active, dislikes being quiet, and talks excessively without stopping. In such a case, is it urgent?Doctor's answer:
In the case of a child like this, it is likely due to enlarged tonsils and the child's dislike of loud shouting or excessive talking. This is not a very serious issue. It is recommended that you let the child avoid loud shouting, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy, dry, hard, or very hot foods that are. The above advice is for the question "A 4.5-year-old child was found to have moderate tonsil enlargement during a thorough examination in the first half of the year." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
