Patient's question:
Boy, 5 years old, he is closest to always coughing, and also has a lot of phlegm. The child says his throat feels uncomfortable. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsil hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of tonsil hypertrophy are a sensation of foreign bodies in the throat, dryness and pain in the throat. Some children may experience changes in their voice. When the child takes a nap, they often snore and may also have symptoms of respiratory distress. If tonsil hypertrophy is not treated promptly, it may lead to chronic hypoxia in the child, affecting their brain development. Therefore, if it is detected, surgical treatment should be undertaken as early as possible. For parents, it is important to help their child receive timely treatment for the disease. Additionally, the child's daily diet should also be balanced, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
