Patient's question:
The child has recurrent respiratory infections, which have caused bilateral tonsillar hypertrophy of degree II, chronic inflammation, and lymphoid follicles in the pharynx. During sleep, the child breathes through the mouth, sometimes snorts, and occasionally experiences episodes of breath-holding. However, the tonsils do not frequently become inflamed—only 2 to 3 acute episodes per year. In such a case, how should it be treated?First follow-up question: What is tonsillectomy treatment?
Doctor's answer:
This needs to be checked by a pediatrician, and the specific situation will determine whether medication or surgery should be chosen for treatment. It is important to strengthen the body's constitution and avoid eating irritating foods. Adenoid hypertrophy in children can be quite harmful to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Appropriate exercise can be done in daily life, and attention should be paid to preventing "overheating." We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
