Does tonsil hypertrophy require surgery?

Patient's question:

One month, unable to breathe normally at night, stuffy nose

Doctor's answer:

Based on your consultation, we are considering that the tonsillar hypertrophy is caused by chronic tonsillitis. In this case, it is still recommended to actively treat the symptoms. Generally, during the acute phase, anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. Sensitive antibiotics can be chosen for treatment. If there are recurrent episodes or severe tonsillar hypertrophy, surgical treatment may be required.
Tonsillitis in children can cause significant harm to the patient. It is advised that the patient seek timely medical attention from a specialist and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is recommended to drink more water and pay attention to dietary issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
