Is the tonsil of a child larger than that of an adult?

Patient's question:

The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Is it normal for a child's tonsils to be larger than an adult's?

Doctor's answer:

If it significantly affects work and daily life, and also impacts breathing, clinical advice still recommends removal!! If not removed, the only option is anti-inflammatory treatment, drink more water, pay attention not to catch a cold, and eat less spicy food! Oral Amoxicillin-Clavulanate Potassium Granules, Qingkailing Granules, and other treatments are needed. Avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods.
