Doctor's answer:
The tonsil is an important autoimmune organ in the human body. When the body's resistance declines, it often leads to tonsillitis. For people who frequently suffer from tonsillitis, surgical removal of the tonsils is a better treatment option. However, tonsillectomy is generally not recommended for children who frequently have tonsillitis. This is because, in children, especially those under the age of 5, the functions of other autoimmune organs in the body have not yet fully developed. As a result, the autoimmune function of the tonsils becomes even more important. As children grow older and their immune system continues to improve, the lymphatic network in the pharynx can gradually expand, leading to a decrease in the frequency of tonsillitis recurrence.
