Is tonsillectomy surgery dangerous for children?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, he is 7 years old this year. He is always coughing and has a lot of phlegm. The child says his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: Is the tonsillectomy dangerous for the child?

Doctor's answer:

If there is tonsillar hypertrophy, in this situation, repeated infections and chronic recurring inflammation, accompanied by snoring at night and breathing difficulties, pose risks to the child. At this time, we can decide to perform surgery, which must be done under general anesthesia. The surgery can be scheduled in any season. For parents, it is important to help their child receive timely treatment for the disease. Additionally, the baby's daily diet should also be balanced in terms of nutrition. Avoid over-nourishing or malnutrition.
