Patient's question:
My child has had recurrent tonsillitis for the past two years, and each episode has been accompanied by high fever. I'm really worried that his health will be compromised if this continues. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of enlarged tonsils in children?Doctor's answer:
The child has enlarged tonsils. If there are no symptoms, no breathing difficulties, and frequent colds, treatment is not necessary. The tonsils can naturally enlarge after reaching adulthood. However, if there are frequent colds accompanied by breathing difficulties, surgical treatment may be required. For severe cases of pediatric tonsillar enlargement, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to the opposite effect. Thank you.
