Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can start by giving the child anti-inflammatory treatment. Once the inflammation is cured, the tonsils should shrink. If it does not affect normal breathing, it is okay to wait and see. Make sure the child drinks plenty of water and take precautions to prevent colds. Generally, children's tonsils will naturally shrink around the age of 12, so surgery can be avoided if possible. If necessary, surgery can be performed later.
