Can the surgery to remove enlarged tonsils be performed?

Patient's question:

Upper respiratory tract infection, past treatment and efficacy: A week of intravenous infusion with no improvement, then gradually recovered. What kind of assistance is needed: Wants to have tonsillectomy surgery, is it possible?...

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be a chronic tonsil reduction with acute inflammatory recurrence. Your child's tonsillitis is still in the acute phase, and surgery is strictly prohibited. Tonsils are immune organs that it's best not to remove if possible.
Survival care: Tonsils are usually at their largest between the ages of 3 and 10, and they begin to shrink gradually after the age of 12. It's possible that as the child grows older, the tonsils may shrink. For now, do not consider surgery for your child. If there are repeated acute recurrences, obstruction of swallowing or breathing, or malnutrition, or if it causes obvious snoring or choking, then consider surgery.
Sincerely wish your baby a speedy recovery.
