Patient's question:
The child is now 11 years old and has had large tonsils since childhood. In the past, they often caught colds, and sometimes their tonsils would get inflamed. In the past two or three years, they have rarely experienced inflammation. However, they snore and breathe loudly while sleeping. It looks like there are two lumps in their throat, and it seems that there isn’t much space in their throat.Should the doctor recommend surgery? Would the surgery have any impact on their health?
Doctor's answer:
This generally requires preventive measures for colds and boosting immunity. You can take Transfer Factor Oral Solution or immunoglobulins to see if it helps. Additionally, it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of plain water, while avoiding snacks as much as possible. If the condition recurs frequently, tonsillectomy is suggested for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. The above advice is for the question "What should we do if a 11-year-old child has large tonsils?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
