Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult about my baby who is 2.5 years old. His tonsils are particularly large, which has improved the quality of his deep sleep at night. He often holds his breath while taking afternoon naps. Is it necessary to have his tonsils removed? Does the general anesthesia for the surgery have any impact on children?Doctor's answer:
If it is necessary to have surgery this way. You need to go to the hospital and follow the doctor's advice! General anesthesia will definitely have an impact on children! So be cautious! If snoring becomes severe again, it is necessary to have surgical treatment as early as possible to prevent airway obstruction and affect the growth and development of brain cells. Brain cells are very sensitive to choking! The above is advice on the question "Can a baby with especially large tonsils have surgery?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
