Patient's question:
The tonsils are prone to inflammation, and recently I have been snoring while sleeping.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, children under two years old do not develop tonsillitis because the tonsils in children under two are relatively hidden and have not fully developed, making them less responsive to external pathogens. As the immune organ of the tonsils matures, inflammation typically begins after the age of two, with the peak period for tonsillitis occurring between 4 and 6 years old. Therefore, parents should take their child's tonsillitis seriously to avoid missing the treatment window, which could lead to chronic tonsillitis or, in more severe cases, kidney inflammation.
