Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago. Recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How old does a child need to be to have their tonsil surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best not to have surgery on children. The tonsils are the most active immune organs during childhood and serve as the gateway to the respiratory tract. It is recommended to inject medication into the tonsils at the hospital, undergo laser treatment, or apply traditional Chinese medicine externally. Strengthen exercise and enhance physical fitness. Ensure children get enough sleep.Tonsillitis in children is a common disease that tends to recur, causing the tonsils to gradually enlarge. It can also easily affect surrounding tissues and organs, such as causing rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, etc. The treatment of tonsillitis mainly depends on the size of the tonsils and the frequency of recurrence.
1. If the tonsils are not large and have only been affected once, a course of antibiotics for 7-10 days can completely cure the condition.
2. If tonsillitis frequently recurs and the tonsils continue to enlarge, the tonsils become a vulnerable site for infection, easily spreading to surrounding areas and causing complications. In such cases, surgical removal is necessary.
