How should a 10-year-old child with enlarged tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, tonsil hypertrophy is usually caused by repeated infections and stimulation leading to hyperplasia. If there are no symptoms and the hypertrophy is not more than degree 2, it can be left untreated. If it frequently recurs or is degree 3 hypertrophy, tonsillectomy is recommended.
